I don’t get the picture
Why is the kid throwing up in his hat?
The picture is an artist's rendering of Joseph supposedly translating the golden plates by gazing at his peep stone placed in the bottom of a hat.
According to official Mormon lore, Joseph supposedly used Urim and Thumim, a pair of peep stones set in a wireless glasses frames. Smith's wife Emma and his cousin Oliver Cowdery both never saw the peep glasses. Instead, they saw the guru with his face buried in a hat gazing at his peep stone for inspiration. Either way, you've got to admit ... just when you thought things couldn't get much weirder ...
"Get your damn head out of that damn stinking hat, you moron." AHAH, so that's how he came up with the name mormon.
