Welsh Jedis set up space colony

That's no moon

AN ORDER of Welsh Jedis has established the Galactic States of Jediism in the Oceanus Procellarum on the moon.

The UK Church of the Jedi, run by two brothers from Holyhead, on the fortress island of Ynys Mon, has bought a plot of land on the moon and is seeking applicants for posts including Head of Galactic Affairs and Country Ambassador.

Daniel Jones, AKA Jedi Master Morda Hehol, told the North Wales Chronicle: "We here at the UK Church of the Jedi are setting up our own micro nation on the moon. This is for our members to belong to our Galactic State and it will be used for training purposes at the church."

Young Hehol added that he had bought an acre on the moon from 'an official moon real estate seller' [Surely 'unreal estate' - Ed] and has set up a government, constitution and royal family of the sovereign state.

"We are able to set up a nation because the moon is classed as international waters, which means we can set up our own nation legally on it. Our plan is to create a galactic nation so Jedi have a place to live when humans move to the moon and also it will be used in training with the church," he continued.

"The nation is called The Galactic States of Jediism, we have our capital city on the moon called Testa City. We are also going to be selling Baron or Lord titles to the public as well."

Applicants are invited to form an orderly queue outside their nearest secure mental facility. µ

"Applicants are invited to form an orderly queue outside their nearest secure mental facility" ..... You're not a big fan then, of Imaginative Belief, Sith Lord Darth Spinola?

Something safer with restraints to bind you in relative comfort is more your cup of tea/relative line?

Loonies

Obviously a scam, like Scientology. There are NO legal lunar real estate sellers, as the moon belongs to the U.S. government (only ones able to reach it, so far), besides, I'm sure the U.N. will pop in and declare it owns the moon "in perpetua, for all the people of Terra", etc., etc., usual useless U.N. crap.

Moon will end up belonging to those who end up living there, just like any frontier settlement.

Soonest

Drop me a note if they set up a nation on the moon for atheists, for we certainly need a place and refuge and it's getting more and more urgent.

He'll be wanting that white coat...

...the one with the wrap around sleeves.

I'm sorry, but this kind of thing makes even the most ardent Trekkie look like a completely sane individual. Heck, it starts to make the Scientologists sound reasonable, and believe me when I say they are just about the least reasonable bunch of nutters on the face of this planet.

'nuff said.

The inqs editor has a terrible habit of inserting terrible jokes amongst other things - just shut up please. [Oooh that was harsh - Ed]

Hmm..

I would like to apply formally for the position of "Head of Galactic Affairs".

But with one "acre" of "real" estate, it must be the moons low gravity that allows them to build a Sky Scraper, ohh.. no sky, I mean "Space Scraper" tall enough for all the Jedi's. Otherwise they might have trouble supporting even two Jedi's on that site..

We are just lucky there are no aliens with a butt bigger than one acre, looking for an toilet (Or, the Jedi's hope there are not).

So the question arises, are these people:

a) A satanic cult spreading anti-christian propaganda.

b) Delusional well intentionally deceived individuals (see beginning of a)).

c) Deliberately taking the micky.

d) For real.

Hmm, yet again, this site has failed to include a link so I might submit my application.

Well, I found an contact address and here is my application:

---------

Dear Sirs

I would like to formally apply for the position of:
"Head of Galactic Affairs" of the "The Galactic States of Jediism".

Although I am not a Jedi myself (though I can get my funk on) such a position requires an administrator with a flare for diplomacy and in security/intelligence matters. Quiet frankly Jediis waving their wobbly swords around doesn't cut it for galactic diplomacy (unless operating in the "Zap Branigan", "Kill Quota" mode, of sending wave after wave of Jediis against intergalactic invasion until they stop).

We have an intelligence related post graduate course available here is Australia that might be of considerable help. I am sure that they may accept me, given your reference and the position of "Head of Galactic Affairs".


Thank you for your time and consideration.



Yours Sincerely



Wayne xxxxxxxx

Well there you go, do you think I have a chance?

I didn't mention that the intelligence course was referred to me by a friend who gets convinced she is an "alias" like spy at times.

And I decided to leave out the bit of having a continuous supply of oxygen etc, as a strict job requirement. After all, this is only a preliminary letter of application.

It's obvious, didn't you see that episode of Doctor Who a couple of seasons ago. We will lean on our balconies and breadth air, take a stroll outside. Well, knowing the Jediis (that seems to be the plural they use) we might have an iron mask ball of death, slapped on our heads, be given a sabre, stuck in a dark cave with flying Death Orbs, and vampire bats, to meditate of course, then be told we have to become animal rights activists and anti-Luddites (those who do not destroy machines like flying death orbs). If it wasn't for the iron mask, and the lack of firewood and air, I could actually eat some bat. Hmm, that sounds like a great script for a TV series, maybe an episode of Hyperdrive.


To answer others queries, yes I remember something about a international treaty so that the moon does not belong to any one nation.

Drive technology, where did I live the design for my passive warp drive design. When you think of it, one dead Jedi (at last I can drop the plural "s") using some future drive technology, might be enough to power a trip to the edge of the solar system.

Hey, i have a thought, Jediis are not allowed to marry. I wonder if any of these guys are single by choice?

Haven't heard anything back about my application yet, was hoping they would piss themselves laughing so much they would give me the job.

moon

No one owns the moon, that chap who said he owned it all is speaking utter rubbish, using his own arguments I could very well say i own the Sun, and since everyone on the planet needs it Im now imposing a tax on Sun light per hourwhich everyone much now pay, which is garbage, the moon has been deemed a nation free zone and only scientific folk can make any sort of base there, much in the sameway we have deemed the poles nation free. any base on the moon would be deemed multinational rather like the ISS.

Oh, and this chap who said he owns the whole thing then promptly sold bits off has been indorsed by nobody, no a single state will ratify it, its a huge con

In that case I wage war on those Jedis and their plastic lightsabers!
