As it turns out --- not quite monochrome but yes, their color perception is definitely "muted".
It's a yellow-blue dichromatic vision so the result is similar to what a red-green color blind person would see.

>I hope they have a long, happy, successful marriage.

Which in Hollywood terms means about two years or so. Hope always springs eternal: I'll just have to marry her after my wife passes away and she's done with him!

If you’re Mormon, you can do it now!

No, you have to be a Jack-Mormon, aka a Fundamentalist Mormon. And in fact their group thinks polygamy is fine, but not polyandry. Gotta get rid of Ben first.

If you want a legal plural marriage, you need to move to a Muslim country, but keep an eye on our Supreme Court. Religion seems to trump everything else for them, so I would not be surprised if they rule for the Jack-Mormons in the future. And for rich immigrating Muslims who want to bring all their wives.

You've got it wrong.
A Jack Mormon is a fallen away Mormon, one who fails to be observant or whose actions go against the teachings of the church.
My wife Karen's first husband was a Jack Mormon. His feelings of guilt began to get to him and he wanted Karen to convert so that he could again curry favor in the church. She bore him a daughter and the pressure increased.
But she refused to convert and then bore him a "defective" son, and that spelled the eventual end of the marriage because she would not be his ticket out of shame, and could not be counted upon to deliver a litter of a dozen perfect little future priesthood holders.

I'm pretty sure there are Fundamentalist Mormons who would say LDS has veered away from the founder's original teachings. Their church started in 1830 and it was only in 1904 they disavowed polygamy and started excommunicating members for it. The split-offs still practice it to this day, but they may use strategies like "religious marriages" to avoid legal problems. I also believe LDS members of standing would call any FLDS or AUB member a "Jack Mormon" even if they were born into their sect.

So not so much "fallen away" as "not following the current LDS orthodoxy".

Professor Racaniello has a new 26 minute video on polio, in response to the first case of paralytic polio announced yesterday in New York state:

POLIO

He's been working on polio for over 40 years, so he may be one of the most qualified people in the US on this topic. Well worth watching.

I only base it on his own father referring to him as such, a Jack Mormon, he called him that to his face and they aren't an FLDS family.

Mormons are weird. My ex's grandparents came down from Oliver Cowdery so her family is pretty much royalty within the church.

I never knew...but when they died the Mormon side of the family got everything.

And it was a lot.
