What's Wrong with This Picture? (#2)

What's wrong with this picture? I'm not asking about color choices or body proportions, I mean something wrong in how the characters/event/setting are portrayed.


Come up with an answer, and preferably a scripture that supports it, then scroll down for mine---no cheating!


















What's wrong? See Joseph Smith-History 1:32, "The room was exceedingly light, but not so very bright as immediately around his person." The light was coming from Moroni, so there shouldn't be any shadow behind him.

Xmas Gift for My Daughter -- Please Help

I know this is a silly abuse of your time and my blog, but please help me if you can.

There is a commercial running lately, which I haven't seen, that advertises a toy that my daughter (3) wants. My wife has seen the commercial but--in her own words--is sooo captivated by the little girl in it that she doesn't remember the name of the toy. She just remembers the song she is singing:

"At six o'clock in the morning I wake up..."

The toy is some kind of microphone/karoake/playback thingy. My wife is certain that it is made by Fisher Price. And no--I cannot find it on the Fisher Price web site, nor was their customer service at all helpful when I called them.

If you know the name of the toy, please tell me. Thanks!


(And if you must know, I am completely wrapped around my daughter's finger and I like it there very much.)

Apologies (during upgrading)

I am upgrading my blog and as a consequence there will be some nuisances (in addition to those regularly encountered) here:

1. Visitors will notice a number of changes that may leave them momentarily disoriented---please use the buddy system during this time.

2. Users of Mormon Archipelago (MA) will notice many of my old posts showing up. This happens because that site looks for newly published posts, but does not distinguish between updated and totally new posts. So if I make a spelling correction on an old post, it shows up on MA as a new post. Again, my apologies to the users of MA and the bloggers with whom I share the lowly "barely-if-ever-frequented blogs" box.

St Paul Caught Winking?

Blogging makes one's mind sick. I'm sure there is ample proof of this, but I offer just one piece of evidence:

As I was studying the Epistle to the Hebrews on Sunday, I noticed something strange—and very distracting—in Ch 10:23:

Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)

Perhaps you don't think anything is weird here. If so, consider yourself healthy and quit blogging before it's too late. But if you are tainted like me, you immediately noticed that Paul winks at the end of that verse. "Why is he winking?" you're asking yourself. "Did he not really mean what he said about the Lord being faithful?"

Now, you may think this is an isolated occurrence and keep reading, only to find Paul up to it again in Ch 11:37-38:
They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented; (Of whom the world was not worthy:)

What?! Now Paul thinks that martyrdom is something to smile about? (At least he's not, you know, double-smiling;)

Mitt Romney's Best Chance

There have been a lot of blogs, polls, and news reports about Mitt Romney's chances for being elected president of the United States. Most arguments go something like, "Romney has NO CHANCE because NO ONE will vote for a Mormon."

Well, I have a little advice for Mitt: pick Benji Schwimmer as your running mate. America LOVES him! (Of course, most of his fans are too young to vote...)

Also: It's a little of topic, but does Benji remind anyone else of Sean Hayes?
