Since I perpetrated some of the crimes, the least I can do is decode a few of the ones I know: ÄŽ -> Ď or ď (not sure which) á -> á Å™ -> ř à -> í (note there is a hidden character after this one, acts like a space) ex.

Re: Buried in Temple Clothing

Have any of you participated in dressing a body in temple clothing? I remember my dad leaving to help a few times when he was bishop, but that was a long time ago. I can't answer for the tradition or doctrine, but I have participated in dressing a body in temple clothing. Physically, it is an inter...

I hadn't heard of Whataburger until I moved to Houston, but it's now one of my favorite fast food joints if you just want a hamburger. I must rant a little about In-N-Out. As a native east coaster I went there for the first time on a college road trip to California and was very much unimpressed. I l...

Here's mine:

It's been months since I've listened to any music (besides ambient, TV, etc, of course). I rarely have the desire to listen to music, and I've never understood why people insist on near-constant musical distraction.

Another variant would be to do a word cloud (often used as a tag cloud, google it if not familiar) in the shape of a 100, with all the pseudonyms, their relative importance (and thus size) being determined by the number of questions answered (or proportional number answered). There are automated uti...

So, any word on the shrimposaurus of unknown gender? Shrimposaurus has evolved into a female fetus, who should be popping out in just a couple weeks. She is still a fetus of unknown cuteness, however I expect she will take over the title left from child #1's ascension to toddlerhood as cutest baby ...

this is an age old problem, so why hasn't someone else stepped up to bat? i think the only logical explanation is that the bookstore has more direct access to the information and probably strong arms departments into not releasing it earlier...the bookstore does not have to compete with other sourc...
