Another reason I will never live in Utah: B. Stanley Pons was once chair of the chemistry department at the University of Utah.
Who is B. Stanley Pons, you may ask? Oh, just one of the two guys that, in 1989, claimed to have discovered cold fusion (not ColdFusion as in the Adobe program, but cold fusion of the nuclear type.) And we all know how THAT turned out: "From Top of Their World to Professional Ostracism"
So, even beyond the whole Mormon-hatin', there's this.

One wrong turn in a career and you are gonna write the guy off completely? I mean it was only cold fusion!
Utah, such a picturesque place that is yet so distasteful.
I actually met two very cool non-mormies from Utah at GenCon who ended up going through True Dungeon with us, so the state has some gems in it.
Cold Fusion is totally real, it just requires an aquarium that bubbles, some dry ice, and a blacklight. Just ask Keanu!
Cory,
I feel sorry for those non-mormies who have to live in Utah. But I hear it's getting better there, as a lower-cost place for EEEEEEEEHHHHHH HIPPIES from California to move when they want to do....whatever it is they do. And ski. In fact, a coworker said that Park City (I think that's the name - wherever Sundance happens) won't allow a mormie temple to be put in the town. Good for them.
