Mark Saal: "People... Who Makes Up This Mormons Stuff... and Why?"

A great discussion kickstart article from the hands-down funniest humor columnist in America

By Laughing My Ass Off

Here's a great Standard-Examiner column from yesterday, in which the funniest newspaper humorist in America (Mark Saal) provides a link to the Mormon version of the venerable and well-respected snopes.com site. Mr. Saal's reference contains some very interesting information about local Utah LDS/secular urban legends, to say the least. Check it out; there's some very enlightening information there:
HolyFetch.com - The Mormon Urban Legends website
Ed. Note: We promote this post from one of our lower WCF comments sections, not only for the elucidation of the Mormon scholars and general Utah historians in our group, but also to hopefully elicit some reader discussion from WCF non-scholars who are still recovering from last week's LONG 4th of July weekend. We're getting used to this. We've now been faithfully lulling our readers out of their post-Independence Day post-partem holiday slumber for over five years now.

Don't let the cat get your tongues, O Gentle Ones.
