"Beatify" is the first step towards becoming a saint, i.e. when the Pope
beatifies someone (according to my beatup old dictionary). There's also
"beatific", sounds like a great teenage slang word. Wonder why that never
broke through.

That was all I had to say, but I have to add some extra text or my stupid
news server won't post this. It seems I have to post at least as much
new text as quoted material. Don't want to delete any more quotes, that
would remove the context and besides I'm being stubborn this time. Wow,
the bandwidth is safe with sysops like mine. Ok, try again.
