For a rebuttal of John Gee's missing papyrus equation, please see the July 17, 2008 Mormon Discussions thread (started by yours truly) titled "The Missing Papyrus Equation". (I'd link it, but unfortunately the fascists who run this place don't allow links to that particular board. Apologies for the inconvenience.) If there's other historical or Egyptological evidence for the missing papyrus theory that you find compelling, perhaps we can discuss it. I've not got a lot of time though, and I think that on this board and others I've already answered pretty much every argument Gee's ever made for his theory, so please forgive me if my responses are short and link-rich.

Do it, Bond. The board needs a good humour injection, and you da man.
Sometimes they suspend people for a definite reason. Other times they ban people for no definitive reason other than as an abuse of their power as moderators.
It still cracks me up that they not only banned my screen name that I had never posted under (and used only for the search function), but that they also banned my IP from viewing the board! LOL! They really are silly.
We hate to seem like we don’t trust every nut with a story, but there’s evidence we can point to, and dance while shouting taunting phrases.

There are ways around that little problem if you're interested. ;)

My way around that lil problem was to get a new server when I switched to wireless. Works like a charm now (except I rarely check in there because it's so danged blah...)
(Nevo, Jan 23) And the Melchizedek Priesthood may not have been restored until the summer of 1830, several months after the organization of the Church.

I think Liz should be banned from this board everytime she winks with that avatar.
