It's NOT symbolic. It really is the body of Christ. Just like the priest says it is.
That's why the altar boys ring the chimes ... so that we know that our long wait to
practice cannibalism is over. :=)

And I also *DO* know when Easter is.

It is the first Sunday after the first Full Moon after the Vernal Equinox.
How do I know this? I'm from New Orleans, and we have a certain ritual that
takes place forty days (not counting Sundays) prior...

God, I love Paganism.

Everyone in the SEO business knows that you just use a 302 hijack to
transfer your pagerank around. Duh. And what's the bit about

  "Per Google's instructions she did a mod rewrite in her 
   .htaccess file with a 301 permanent redirect."

I guess she missed the part on http://www.google.com/remove.html#change_url

   "Changes made in this way will take 6-8 weeks to be reflected in Google."

And this, from http://www.google.com/webmasters/3.html

Sounds to me like she just did the 301 thing and didn't tell all of her SEO friends
that have been boosting her PageRank to ensure that "the links change".
