Great Moments in Blog Comment History, Part 1
From a comment thread a couple of weeks ago on MormonMatters regarding the lifting of the Priesthood ban:
- 137
To add one more factor to MH’s summary:
After Pres. McKay died, Pres. Smith only served for two years – then Pres. Lee served for less than two years (dying of an unexpected heart attack even though he was the youngest president to take office in decades at 73). I don’t think lifting the ban was a priority for either of them, especially since Hugh B Brown (one of the strongest proponents of lifting the ban) was not kept in the presidency of either President Smith or President Lee after Pres. McKay passed away.

Not disagreeing, but…correlation = causation? Hmm…
Although I suppose in the case of the latter, President Lee = causation for correlation
Just a little correlation committee humor for you, folks. I’ll be here all week.
(UPDATE: If you don’t get or like the joke, then don’t feel bad. As I note in the comment section, you’re not alone.)
I can only assume you are familiar with this.
Drat! Someone beat me to the XKCD punch!
Steve & Clint-
Remember that Seinfeld episode where Elaine unwittingly rips off a Ziggy cartoon and her boss snoops it out?
Hrmm…am I Elaine?
On a side note, since posting that comment, I’ve been informed by a couple of people–including my DW–that my attempt at humor has failed and I should return to doing…whatever it is I do.
I don’t care. I haven’t stopped giggling inwardly for several weeks. (And if I had been so bold as to post the subsequent comments, you’d see that at least three (3!) other people thought it was clever.
Steve Evans–
I should thank you though–I hadn’t seen an XKCD cartoon for probably 2 years. Thank you for reminding me; this has arguably been the least productive morning at work I’ve ever had.
