Subject: A Strange thing happened at work last night.
Written By: Gis on 09/23/08 at 3:32 am
So there I was doing the late shift for a friend because I'm nice like that and it was all very dull.
I was switching off the photocopiers when a reader who was still using one of them said he was going to be another two minutes was that ok so I said fine and he replied 'Go and look at the stormtroopers' I'm like 'excuse me?' and he said 'no joke, there are 8 stormtroopers on the Radcliffe Camera steps, have a look' so I did and he was right!?!
Apparently it was for the launch of 'The Force Unleashed' computer game and it was all very cool. 8)

You mean to tell me that Stormtroopers aren't a usual sight at a prestigious university such as Oxford? Given any American college campus on any Friday night, you're liable to see at least one Stormtrooper milling about. Whether they are out to do Darth Vader's bidding or not remains to be seen. ;D
Amusing photo and definately unexpected. Thanks for sharing it. :)

Well, of course they don't want to be storm troopers all their life. Once the universe is conquered...then what? Gotta have something to fall back on....they could be accountants or lawyers (then they could utilize those same set of skills).... :D

The story just appeared in the all libraries newsletter under the heading 'The lengths some people will go to to get into a library after the closing bell has rung' ;D

A friend of mine went to a Sci Fi convention and David Prouse (Darth Vader's body) was there and taught her a song-and she in turn taught it to me so the two of us sing it all the time.
Sung to the tune of the theme from Star Wars
Star Wars made me a fortune
Paid off the mortgage.
Bought me a car.
:D ;D ;D ;D
