I attended Emerson Junior High School, virtually in the shadow of this
thing. On the playground, it was the very height of 13-year-old humor to
give a sudden and dramatic start, stare up at the gilt statue of Moroni,
and yell "Oh no! DON'T JUMP!!!"

Actually this is mistaken. I believe most anyone can get at the
archives, for a fee. Those archives, by the way, are in vaults deep in
the heart of a tunnel complex under a granite mountain in the Utah
Rockies; they will rent you space for your own archives in these tunnels.
It's a popular place for software companies to keep backup copies of
their code.

On one occasion (long ago, to be sure) they even massacred a wagon train
of "Gentiles," and then franed the local Indians, causing them to be
massacred by the gullible but bloodthirsty U.S. Cavalry. Two birds with
one stone.
Cheers,
