I met Anderson Silva in a dark cave. I didn't want to be in the cave, but, wow, Anderson Silva!

I visited a music store, and bought a music CD. When I played the CD I found myself drumming with Rampage Jackson.

Next, I was on a TV show. It was some sort of political/medical drama. For some reason, the show featured a lot of ice cream, Hillary Clinton, and Emma Watson. (Groan.) Emma was playing some type of nurse. She also made reference to Rita Hayworth. I have no idea why.

After this, I found myself hanging out with this black family, in a large, strange room. It was very disorganized, and the only technology available was from the 1990s. There were a few tube TVs, which frankly didn't work so well as they used antenna to pick up TV signals.

I was in a quaint, old town, with my sister, when a giant easter bunny started attacking. It was dropping down huge colored eggs onto everyone.

I was in the Death Star, or something that looked like it, and Darth Vader, and his pals had me, and some Jedi people cornered. We climbed up the metal wall, and escaped through a hole.
I rather see Amy Klobuchar as Stratt than Nichole Kidman! PLEASE anyone but Kidman.
I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

In this entry, I’d like to get through as much of the next few pages of the CES Letter as possible, so that we can wrap up the Witnesses section soon and move on to the next topic. There are a lot of different accusations to go through, many of which we’ve already covered, so I’m just going to dive right in.
The Letter picks up, again in big, red, capital letters:
> NO DOCUMENT OF ACTUAL SIGNATURES
> The closest thing we have in existence to an original document of the testimonies of the witnesses is a printer’s manuscript written by Oliver Cowdery (you can see black/white photo on Joseph Smith Papers here). Every witness name except Oliver Cowdery on that document is not signed; they are written in Oliver’s own handwriting.
The facts surrounding this show why it’s not a very strong argument. There are no actual signatures of the witnesses other than Oliver because the only complete copy of the Book of Mormon manuscript that survived is the printer’s manuscript, thanks in large part to the efforts of David Whitmer and his family.
What happened to the original manuscript? Well, in October of 1841, Joseph Smith put it in the cornerstone of the Nauvoo House. More than 40 years later, Emma’s second husband, Lewis Bidamon, was making renovations to the house and discovered it. It was badly damaged by water seepage and mold, and Bidamon displayed the pages and gave many away to visitors to the house. Today, only about 28% of it is still intact, and even many those pages and fragments are badly damaged. Extensive efforts to conserve them have been undertaken by both the Church and by the Wilford Woodruff Museum, the two places where the bulk of the rema

The votes are in and we have some data to share with you! More to follow once we have cleaned and curated a bit more, but this is just the teaser.
In the end it seems as if the 80% threshold worked for both branches of the Hall as 7 each of men and women succeeded in reaching that mark! We adjusted the requirements to reflect ballots submitted, 34 for the men's branch of the Hall and 17 for the women's branch, rather than registered voters, 51 and 25 respectively.
The men's branch of the Hall saw 173 riders receive at least one vote and the women's branch had 63 riders receive at least one vote.
There are plenty more facts and figures to come in the near future, including the inaugural class, but for now here are the riders who received at least one vote, but who were named on less than 50% of the ballots:
