and that picture is actually taken in Iceland.

Which is what’s really amusing about this picture to me… a good quality Vader replica costume is quite expensive, at least in the several hundreds of dollars and probably over a thousand. And he accessorizes it with a $20 toystore lightsaber? What, he couldn’t afford the extra hundred bucks for a decent quality saber? WTF?

And before you ask, yes I’m a nerd and damned proud of it.

And if that’s not what they were trying to say, then I haven’t the slightest clue.

May the force be with them!

*Shudder*

I like to say: “Science tells me what and how; Religion tells me who; Philosophy tells me why.”

There’s an anonymous guy – nobody seems to know who he is – who obviously has access to the English ecumenical calendar. Thus far he’s shown up at at least ten venues where the clergy have been processing through the streets behind the bishop and the cross. He doesn’t do anything wrong, he just follows behind the procession. Never says a word to anyone. When they reach the church or the start of private ground where he could be accused of breaking the law, he genuflects, peels off and vanishes down any nearby passage or side street.

On numerous occasions complaints have been made about him to the police by the clergy, but the police can’t do anything, and if the truth’s known are probably just as amused as everyone else. If the clergy want to process through public streets, and somebody else happens to follow them in fancy dress that doesn’t break the law, the police won’t intervene. So this guy has mocked clergy up and down the country with impunity.

Because it hasn’t yet grown old, whenever he does it in a different place, inevitably pictures end up places like this.
