I’ve always wondered what the Religion field was doing in the registration form of a public university. I mean, what kind of data slicing would they do to make this field relevant? What do they need it for?

I was hoping to provoke a reaction from the administrative checkers when I put “Jedi” in my Form 5. “Yes ma’am, I believe in an energy field that surrounds us and binds us. Luminous beings are we – not this crude matter. And oh – fear is the path to the dark side…”

Sadly, they didn’t even notice. Or maybe that’s what they want me to think, so that I wouldn’t mess with their nefarious data-mining schemes.
