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.

Existem v?rias inst?ncias de prolongamento da vida na mitologia grega, mas isso vale um exame mais minucioso. Tir?sias ? uma possibilidade forte. Ele era um profeta tebano cego, e que viveu muito tempo (al?m de ser ocasionalmente ressucitado), e era filho de uma ninfa. Ser??

Take a little trip back with Father Tiresias,
Listen to the old one speak of all he has lived through.
I have crossed between the poles, for me there's no mystery.
Once a man, like the sea I raged,
Once a woman, like the earth I gave.
But there is in fact more earth than sea.

Which Tiresias? Genderbender, blind seer, mediator between gods and men, 
accursed of the gods, or prophet of Apollo?
