Is Using Google Against the Word of Wisdom?

What: Out of respect for Mormons, someone is petitioning Google to change the code name of their new search engine, Google Caffeine.

Quote: "Since the Mormon religion disallows caffeine, please consider changing the name. It's kind of like marketing Google Bacon to Jewish or Muslim folks, or Google Brisket to Hindus."

Reaction: Actually, if Google did produce a new search engine called Google Caffeine, I think a lot of Mormons would get a kick out it. We'd be making jokes about it for years to come.

  1. I agree. It's a great thought, though, and very considerate. However, I just remember all the jokes at BYU when my CS class was taking "Java" every morning at 9. Anyways, I think it's awesome of them to think of us. We'll see what happens.

  2. I've read the WoW many times, but I've yet to see the word 'caffeine' in there.
