I remember this.
I hold the cunsus in such contempt that i knew what I had to do as 
soon as I saw the circulating e-mail last year.
It fell to me to fill out the census form in my house (otherwise it 
would never get done), so I filled in all of my housemates religeons 
as Jedi.
I also convinced my mum to do the same thing back home as well.

I dunno if it was made an actual religeon, but it was fun.
