Judy Holliday always played really "dumb blondes" even though she was an extremely intelligent woman. I have read a description of her as "surpassingly intelligent". One year when my dad was filling in the census form he asked me what I wanted him to put as my religion (he was a very detail oriented man). I was going through a bit of a phase at the time, so I told him "Templar Knight". I like to think that somewhere in the archives, I am recorded as one of the few hundred Templar Knights in the UK...

Sandi thinks that she is not attractive. What rot! Sandi is an extremely handsome woman with a ‘drop dead’ sense of humour.

I've been saying the same thing about the tennis grand slam tournaments for years, it's the same at all four, women only play best of 3 sets while men play best of 5, and I do not understand why. Not only is it unfair to award the same prize money for playing less, but there's no reason why women couldn't also play best of 5 sets, especially now final sets go to tiebreaks in all four tournaments and not just at the US open.

I find Sandi very funny.

I thought Edmund Hillary's berating of Mark Ingalls (double amputee) for Climbing Everest and passing David Sharp, who was still alive but barely conscious, was unfair. There was nothing Mark could do given that he really had no legs and others had mistaken David for Green Boots. The hard part of Everest is staying alive, the easy part is the climbing. Both are necessary but a lot get lost, fall and die.

If you mean the part at 8:20 he's talking about the "bits" of poo, it would "get all the bits" meaning be able to clean thoroughly. I think it was partly in reference to Sean's earlier comment about the scorpion having a sharp point so it could dig into any folds of skin (the "knibbly bits"), which you tend to get if you have haemorrhoids, which approximately half the population will have at some point in their lives by age 50.

Lots of people have grown up hearing lazy male comics get big laughs about fat women, loud women, lazy women, and ugly women. There’s an old standard, “Take my wife *pause* please. *hold for laughs*”. Because female comedians often don’t tell this type of lazy joke, some people don’t think they are funny. That’s the comedy they grew up with. Therefore, if comedy isn’t making fun of women in some way, they don’t find it funny. There’s a way you can still make fun of women in comedy, as a male. You just have to say something sexist, then say ooooo. The implication is “look at me, I’m being a bad boy”. That allows you to still make fun of women, and get away with that type of lazy humour. I can think of many funny, female comics. A lot of them appear on QI. Sarah Millican is one I enjoy immensely.

Most democratic countries with freedom of religion have some relatively broad, but objective, criteria that a congregation has to meet to be registered as an official religion and receive the benefits of being a registered religion. "Jedi" does not fulfill these criteria, and since it's a government census there is no official way to register "Jedi". You are of course free to consider yourself a Jedi nonetheless, but in matters of bookkeeping, it isn't a registered religion. :)
