Re: Generic Al Blather
From the news:
Of the nations where some of the citizens claim Jedi Knight to be their religion, it is said that they claim this in protest that there is a Religion category in a National census--but how did all of them get the same idea at the same time, worldwide?
And no, they do not practice....
Also, Elon Musk has today been quoted as saying he never told anyone he was a samurai....
Al's Twitter claims 3.82 million followers. What is 82 tenths? How many is this?

.82 is 82/100. I learned that in 4th grade.

Re: Generic Al Blather
Okay, sorry, do me some more math--
U.S. population in 2015: 320,000,000. Al's Twitter followers: 3,830,000. So....anywhere in this nation, if you had a building of 1,000 people, say a corporate office, high school or mall, what percentage of the GENERAL POPULATION would be Al's fans, that you could conceivably get together with after-hours to form a fan club or just hang out?
EDIT: I meant what's the ratio....

Everyone is a fan even if they don't follow him on Twitter.
