In August of 1991, a Third Stage Authority was wheeled into the Grand Hall of the President of BYU. All the attendants were dismissed, so there was just the BYU President and the entourage of the Third Stage Authority. The President began his salutations and adulations when the Authority cut him short. "We have detected a problem. Some non-member named Tim Berners-Lee has created the World Wide Web. There are plans in motion to create a vast connection of computers that will allow data to eventually be shared all over the world. Most of it will be benign, but we have also perceived..."

Ah, here it is thought the BYU President, the reason I have been summoned to this important meeting.

"We need some means of fighting this internet, lest it deliver information that could damage the faith of the members. We need their continued tithing. Nothing must interfere with that. The Tithing must flow."

The BYU President bowed low to the vehicle containing the Authority. "I will do everything in my power to squash this so-called "information". To that end, I pledge fifty legions of my best apologists. That should be enough to banish all thoughts of this information from the minds of the members. The Tithing will flow."

Well done, Moksha. Very spicy.

It would have been fun if Grindael had painted a portrayal of the third stage authority in the Great Hall. His title of "The Tithing must Flow" would have captured the essence of the meeting.

You're in good company.

by the way, the newly discovered monolith in the Utah desert just vanished, but don't worry, it was translated to the Kolob space station where will be assigned its own planet and harem of sister-wives.

Did you ever find out if the monolith responded to Early Modern English, the language of Shakespeare and of ghost committees everywhere? I'm guessing that if one quoted any line from the modern Book of Mormon, the monolith would have immediately translated said quote back into Ye Olde English.

... becoming a polylith.

It's not a monolith. A monolith is rectangular with dimensions 1:4:9.

Hey, just be glad it stood a righteous vigilance in Utah and will now be able to partake in Polylithy.
