 Good day to you. I am a Technical Support Specialist, and Beta Tester for Microsoft and MMO Companies. I have been using computers since IBM had an "OS" watched Anime since I was 6 and TBS showed the first Vampire Hunter D movie, played ever console since the NES (Yes even failures such as the Jaguar), have read comics since the Golden age of Marvel (Wait there is no golden age anymore, it was Ret-conned), have built all computers I have owned, have Rped. . . a lot of Table top systems custom-made a few and learned the rules for most systems to each newbs, enjoyed many movies from the early 40's on (And will destroy the defilers of The Day the Earth Stood Still), a large advocate of Games Workshop in my area (In the name of the Machine-God!), and unfortunatly I have drawn fanart for money :(.

I'd admit trading blowjobs for crack with the homeless before I admitted to that level of whore-dom.

Cherubim is plural; Genesis 3:24 specifies one flaming sword. Presumably flaming swords were in short supply."

 I think it's ALL supposed to be bolded; and any other emphasis italicized, underlined, or something else, like:
