I'd encourage up and coming Mormon scholars to publish more on Mormonism through grants and fellowships. Maybe create a non-prophet foundation for Mormon studies.


Start an independant and free standing Institute for Advanced Mormon Studies. Cross my fingers and hope they would hire Quinn. It would be wrong of me to dictate who they hire but I would have some input on who the first members of the self perpetuating board would be.

Endow 3 chairs in religious studies in the names of my 3 favorite professors at the universities they taught at.

Install a pipe organ in my house (first I'd have to get a house).

Nieces and nephews? Let 'em play their own damn lottery numbers.

I would bring forth the controversy of Zion to the world.....rather relentlessly until something moved in that direction. :arrow: :arrow: :arrow:


I think a donation to the Apocalrock Center could also be fit into the list...

With a billion dollars I could at least do a little something for everyone I know. And that would be awesome good fun!

I'd build massive mixed-use housing. I'd also gift most of it away to the unsuspecting and needy.

In the face of madness, rationality has no power - Xiao Wang, US historiographer, 2287 AD.

Every record...falsified, every book rewritten...every statue...has been renamed or torn down, every date...altered...the process is continuing...minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Ideology is always right.
