LMAO!

So sorry but can't help it!! That's what it says when I read it quickly
Ya know, there actually is a man in the BoM named Moron... although it is pronounced -- mor'un. He was the son of Ethem, father of Coriantor, and a late Jaredite king who ruled wickedly. He was eventually overthrown and lived in captivity. Just some random info for ya.

Oh, and here's another random piece of info for ya... We were labeled as "Mormon" because someone who had no knowledge of the church derived it as "Book of Mormons." Mormon is a person in the book as well. He was a Nephite prophet and General in the Nephite army, who kept most of the record that is now the Book of Mormon. He was one among many.
