Total win from the census team on this one, but now I have Kelis’ Milkshake in my head. How did you go with the online submission Tuesday night? Hopefully you weren’t one of the 670,000 households who used the web form but forgot to hit send. Good news: Submissions don’t close until September 5. [Failblog]
Here’s what you need to know. Don’t be stupid and nominate Jedi as your religion: Here’s why. Also, don’t forget that you’ll need both an eCensus number and a census form number before you fill out your details online. Don’t stress if the servers get overloaded, it only takes about 15 minutes, and you have until September 5 — just make sure your info is a snapshot of tonight. [Census]
It’s expected that around 30 per cent of us will complete the Census online tonight, up from 10 per cent in 2006. And while it may be funny to enter Jedi or even Pastafarian as your faith if you’re not particularly religious, you should know that your stat won’t count, and that results are used by groups like the Australian Christian Lobby as an example of how many Australians share their viewpoint (whatever that may be).
Calling the UK Government illiterate, LulzSec says they have the 2011 UK Census in its entirety, and that they plan to leak the entire thing when they finish formatting it. Uh oh.
