 Quite obviously, we here on Zion also constitute double-dippers,
 seeing as how the Church can't manage to provide us with a safe, warm,
 nurturing environment in which to shoot the breeze, argue obscure
 doctrinal points, and laugh at Canadians. The good thing is that,
 according to Ms. Fletcher Stack and the accomplished Dr. Bennion, we
 are an important subset of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
 Saints. Yippee! I feel so empowered!

  Interesting article about a science study by a social anthropologist,
  refers to mormons distracted by gospel hobbies as double dippers.
 
 
  Whatever their secondary involvement, these double dippers are
  motivated by a sense of deprivation: they are left hungry by their
  Mormon faith and seek to supplement their diet with other food, she
  concluded.

I'm not convinced that Peggy would express her feelings in quite the 
same terms, but I am pleased to know that your experience with this 
article was uplifting.

One of the points of the article that caught my attention--the woman 
conducting the study calls herself a social anthropologist.  This 
almost guarantees a certain morphology, uniquely characterized by a 
cranium that narrows acutely toward the apex.

In my recollection anthropology used to be a fairly hard science, but 
any more, it has become nothing more than politically correct voyeurism. 
 Far be it from such to marginalize any expression of diversity.  
Unless, of course, the subjects happen to be members of one of those 
nasty polygamy clans that exploits and victimizes women.
