Haven't been on for a while, long enough that my previous userID of Butch seems to have been marked inactive (hint to admins to activate again please); but I had to comment on Uchtdorf's space pen remarks.
First see:
http://www.snopes.com/business/genius/spacepen.aspI think the last thing members of the LDS Church need is more simplicity--more milk. The funny thing about this story (after laughing about its propaganda nature) is in fact the hidden complexity--wooden pencils are dangerous in a 100% oxygen, no gravity environment.
Seriously, if you are going to use Chicken Soup stories, at least run them through snopes first. It seems Mormonism only works in a fictional world.
