Ohhhhhhhhh....... GOD'S BLEEEDING WOUNDS OPEN UP A LITTLE MORE, PLEASE!!!

I UTTERLY HATE this so-called "new and improved" white-out garbage that is this forum's platform...

I had wrote what might have been some of my most scholarly research and efforts towards specualation on what Maya's abilitiy is and what is does to the unfortunate... here's some of the Closing Argument I had inadvertantly kept (in order to better edit/reshape my presentation)...

Basically the Mucous Membrane is a powerhouse of function and purpose that helps ensure essential functions withi a mammal occurr trouble-free... this includes breathing.
It is interesting (and critical, I must insist) to note that the victims of Maya's unleashed ability, almost within 60 to 90 seconds die from massive respiratory failure...
As for the ancillary, cosmetic effect of the "Tears of Black [so-called]Blood". I am certain that it's a plasuible, ancillary reaction to the corruption of victim's mucuous membrane. Very few (if any) systems within the human body are what is known as ... discrete [i.e. sgregated/isolated and fully independent from one another]. The relations between each system and the next are complex and multilayered and mainly simultaneous. It is my belief that the the lachrymal ducts and lachrymal sac -- which are responsible for tears are either directly tied to, or are only slightly indirectly tied to the mucous mebrane extant within the nasal cavity.

I am BOTH TIRED and SO &^%@R#--ing INFURIATED that I have NOT an IOTA of patience to even TRY [tonight] to ressurrect what I had thought and formulated back on to the computer screen...

Hey NBC!!!! Have you ever heard the saying...
"If it is not broke, DON'T Fix it" ???!?!?!?!?
