Yah, what Oni Lukos said--we don't drink coffee or tea.
Cool, I learned something new today. :) Is that because it's caffeinated? Or is it because they are both "hot drinks"?
gforce422 is awesome because:
-He made the absolute nicest comments about me in the other topic. I didn't respond to them yet, because I suck, but they are greatly appreciated! =D
-I would say he would also be a good runner up as one of the nicest people alive.
-He joined the IRC sometimes. But not enough, I say! Chat moar =D
-He is evidently only 18 year old but he could easily pass for 25. =D
-He is a drummer like *I* am and this in itself is cool.

It's because of the caffeine. LDS is against all recreational drugs, including alcohol and caffeine.

I'm giving up abstinence.
Its not abstinence if you want to get laid but can't

OH SNAP!
Learn that from personal experience?
Depends on if macking on a girl who is passed out counts or not
Well, it depends on if you want to spend 15 years at Her Majesty's pleasure in Broadmore.

I sincerely doubt that this is how Lent is supposed to work.

I guess we Mormons have Lent all year 'round, then. :wink:
Explain, please?
Yah, what Oni Lukos said--we don't drink alchohol, coffee, or tea (and no sex, either, duh.)

I got no vices left to swear off for Lent. :-P

At least you get to have a bunch of wives, and you guys had a king on Beaver Island in Michigan for awhile.

Cameron is awesome because:
-Because he has an artistic style that is both complex and minimalist. This is profound!
-He once drew me as a roadrunner. It was an actual honest to god feral roadrunner, but a roadrunner nonetheless!
-He lives in Idaho among the wilderness and stuff and I envy him for that. 3:
-He is probably one of the most personable artists on here.
-I think he's the only one of us on here who drew a fanart that made it as a guest strip on O&M. This is an accomplishment!

They don't do polygamy anymore. :(

Say, are there any major religions (past or present) which practiced polyandry?

This kind of cultural and anthropological stuff is right up my alley so I poked around a little.

Basically it's not that prevalent. The most famous examples are from Tibet and the Eskimos. But there's also evidence of it in other Hindu/Buddhist nations like India and Nepal. Mongolia and Polynesia also had/has polyandry in parts.
The chief reasons for the lack of polyandry seem to be the difficulty of sustaining it and the forcing of western family values.

There is also examples of polyandry in certain animals, but I've only read about this from Wikipedia so I won't go into it as much.

From Wikipedia
According to inscriptions describing the reforms of the Sumerian king Urukagina of Lagash (ca. 2300 BC), he is said to have abolished the former custom of polyandry in his country, on pain of the woman taking multiple husbands having her teeth bashed out with a clay tablet.
Why don't we ever bash woman's teeth out with clay tablets anymore?

Because steel is more effective.
