We salute rock & roll’s most iconic tool of the trade since stuffed spandex — the multinecked, fur-lined, flame-throwing masterpieces that remain as influential as the shredders who strapped them on.

Here’s a fun anti-mormon cartoon in which I keep expecting a voice to come out and say “Meanwhile, at the Hall of Justice”.
John Safran takes a look at the Mormon’s magic underwear.
And of course, South Park’s bio on Joseph Smith.
From Atrios:
Romney: It’s as if they are intent on establishing a new religion in America – the religion of secularism. They are wrong.
Really it would just be crazy if anyone tried to start a new religion in America… oh, wait.

Then we started talking about what bacon has successfully been added to, and the thought of the maple bacon bar donut at Voodoo donut back home, and Vosages bacon chocolate bar made me wonder..
Could I make a cookie with bacon? How about a chocolate chip cookie?
Dwindling in Unbelief takes a close look at how many times The Book of Mormon uses the phrase “And it came to pass.”
So “it came to pass” is found in nearly 20% of the BoM’s verses — over 13 times as often as in the Bible! But, actually, it’s a bit worse than that. The original 1830 edition of the BoM had even more uses of “and it came to pass.” But since I can’t find a searchable version of the 1830 edition, I can’t quantify it for you.
Of course all of this can be explained. Brant A. Gardner in Meridian Magazine tells us that there’s a good reason for all the and-it-came-to-passes; Joseph Smith used this phrase to mark the begining of paragraphs. It’s just that simple.
Still it seems strange that he would have had 30 paragraphs in the 39 verses of 1 Nephi 16. I guess the original translation didn’t have any punctuation, but still 30 paragraphs in 45 or so sentences seems a bit excessive.
