thanks, Fald. I think I'm getting the hang of it now, though catacombination has me twitching.

if you're compelled to visit the catacombs is that catacombhither?

Thank your lucky stars I don't live anywhere near you, eta. That's one of the worst ones I've heard since TEd last frequented this board.

Meanwhile (and I hope this won't offend anyone; it's the impression I had while touring European Catholic churches during my college years), I went through enough crypts and catacombs claiming to have a piece of the cross that I wondered if they didn't really mean the ark instead.

Remember the episode of "Blackadder" when he was appointed Archbishop of Canterbury? One of the funniest of all four series, I thought.

However, when he got to Canterbury, he and Baldrick were picking over the stock in trade - Christ's fingers in vacuum-packed packs of ten, pieces of the True Cross with or without blood, gift-wrapped. Curses ranging in price from .5p ("I curse you and hope something very bad happens to you") to 20 gold pieces ("I curse you, and I hope that all of your body parts [listed hereunder] fester and fall off, leaving you in extreme agony".)

Don' try an do it all over sudden.

I've always though this was all of a sudden. Am I mistaken? Or is this simply Faldigian hypercorrection to contrast the rest of his post?
