Hoping to continue the remarkable success of Latter-day Saint Ken Jennings, FARMS has sent its best and brightest, Professor Daniel Midgley-Welch to compete on the long-running game show, Jeopardy. The following is a partial transcript of his appearance.
Alex Trebek: We also welcome to our show Daniel, a food sciences professor from Provo, Utah. It says here that you enjoy archeology in your spare time. Found anything interesting, have you?
DMW: Don't you think it's rather presumptuous to discuss Book of Mormon archeology before you've read some of the scholarship? Honestly! Do your homework, Alex!
AT: Um, OK, let's play Jeopardy.
DMW: I'll take Potent Potables for $100, Alex.
AT: Jesus turned the water into this during the wedding at Cana.
DMW: What is a nonalcoholic grape-juice-like substance completely unrelated to the modern concept of wine?
AT: No, I'm sorry, we were looking for "wine."
DMW: Really, Alex, your ignorance is showing. You seriously believe that Jesus would violate the Word of Wisdom? I'll take The New Testament for $100.
AT: Jesus was born in this small town in Judea.
DMW: What is the land of Jerusalem?
AT: No, I'm sorry, the answer is "Bethlehem."
DMW: Excuse me, but that's just nitpicking. Anyone who knows anything understands that Bethlehem is in the land of Jerusalem. I thought this was supposed to be a well-researched show.
AT: I'm sorry, the judges inform me that the correct answer is "Bethlehem."
DMW: Well, then, let's try New World Fauna.
AT: This large rodent is found primarily in the jungles of Central and South America.
DMW: What is a horse?
AT: No, the answer is "tapir."
DMW: That's what I said. "Horse" is just a modern equivalent of "tapir." Any idiot knows that.
AT: Whatever.
DMW: I don't like your tone, Alex. Are you one of those vile anti-Mormons, like Robert Ritner? All right, let's go to American Hoaxes.
AT: This one is a visual daily double: These bell-shaped plates, which turned out to be a clumsy hoax, were identified by Joseph Smith as the record of a descendant of this Biblical figure.
DMW: What is "there's no proof that Joseph Smith ever saw the plates, let alone translated them"?
AT: I'm sorry, but that's not a question. Look, can we just stick with the game?
DMW: All right. Let's try 19th Century Politics.
AT: Along with slavery, this practice was called one of the twin relics of barbarism by early Republicans.
DMW: What are loose dynastic familial ties?
AT: Uh, what? Can you be more specific?
DMW: What are nonsexual and wholly spiritual ties through the law of adoption that are unrelated to sex with 14 year olds?
AT: No, the answer we were looking for was "polygamy."
DMW: Why, I am shocked that you would assault the virtue of those pure and lovely women who were merely adopted into the lineage of the prophet. You really have a grudge against Mormons.
AT: Who is this guy? Let's move on to final jeopardy. I'm sorry, Daniel, but given your negative score, you'll have to sit this one out.
DMW: I sure hope you never write a book, Alex, because if you do, I'll make sure we give it a terrible thrashing in our review of books.
AT: Is that supposed to scare me?
DMW: Let me guess, King World Productions is funded by the George D. Smith foundation, am I right? You had better watch out! I'm about to raise my arm to the square and call down fire from heaven on you.
AT: Can someone call security, please?
