The Gory Details of 'Miracles'

Transubstantiation?Now there's a topic that always rings a bell.

quote:

---

First you get down on your knees
Fiddle with your rosaries
Bow your head in great respect an'
Genuflect genuflect genuflect
Make whatever steps you want if
You have cleared them with the pontiff
Everyone say his own
Kyrie elieson
Doin' the Vatican Rag!

​

You get in line in that processional
Step into that small confessional
Where the guy whose got religion'll
Tell you if your sin's original
If it is, try playin' it safer
Drink the wine and chew the wafer
2, 4, 6, 8 --
Time to transubstantiate!

​

First you get down on your knees
Fiddle with your rosaries
Bow your head in great respect an'
Genuflect genuflect genuflect
Make a cross on your abdomen
When in Rome do like a Roman
Ave Maria!
Gee, it's good to see ya!
Gettin' ecstatic an'
sorta dramatic an'
Doin' the Vatican Rag!

​

ArcherAll species are transitional.

I'm afraid you mis-took the use of the word. She used the adjective, which has to do with purpose, rather than the noun, which has to do with Maybelline. The purpose of the wax is cosmetic if it helps the surface look better, preservative if forestalls further damage.__
