Douse the Mouse

"Mickey Mouse is alive and well, at least as far as the folks at Disney are concerned—and they should know. According to some prankster, however, the famous rodent is not only dead, but also eligible to be baptized, endowed and sealed (with wife Minnie) in the LDS Church Temple.

While conducting an investigation into the extensive genealogical database operated by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, researcher Helen Radkey discovered records detailing the mouse’s family tree—complete with clearance for temple ordinances.

According to LDS Church doctrine, since some never receive the opportunity to become Mormons during their lives, church members may engage in rituals like “baptism for the dead,” to allow benighted souls to posthumously convert."

that falls under my "wtf" section to do with mor*ons. Too many wtf sections is why I emphatically am NEVER joining that kooky religion.
(their 'alternate history of the americas' is an even bigger wtf... and that -is- saying something)

If he's cleared for temple ordinances, that would seem to indicate baptisim sometime in the past...?

If any well meaning mor*on (thanks, winterlion) posthumously baptizes me, I am SO haunting them. Yeah, Asian ghosts would stare back in horror saying, "Damn, that's some messed-up haunting!"
