fully divine and fully human

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Meatloaf was OUTSTANDING in that movie....and it contains one of my favorite movie lines of all time when Steve Martins girlfriend is referred to as "the Holy Grail of Road Pussy".
?
should "Road Pussy" be capitalized???
Happy T-Day!

There's also a 1992 Steve Martin movie _Leap of Faith_ where a fake 
faith healer conman becomes so persuasive that when he leads the marks 
in prayer, unplanned non-fake miracles begin to occur.
