Ah, you learn something new every day.

[QUOTE=Jolly McJollyson]I'd rather it read like a story with some breathtaking lines (if I can aspire to something so lofty).

Now you're thinking like I do when it comes to songs. I used to try and write songs in which every line seemed really profound and poetic, but now I realize that most of a song has to be in 'normal' language so the good lines stand out. I'm glad you're not gonna try to explode all our heads again with the Doubting Thomas stuff. :)
