Caestus


A cestus (plural cesti) is an ancient battle glove, sometimes used in pankration. In effect, it is the classical world's equivalent to brass knuckles.
Well, la de da.

That's what it meant in olden days.

Currently it means "asshole"

What do I need to do in order to be able to edit comments (rather than delete and start over)?

I think this will answer your question: http://www.google.com/support/blogger/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=41382

If not, let us know.

Forget the previous suggestion-- it refers only to posting, not commenting.

Apparently Blogger doesn't allow editing of comments. I'm looking for a 3rd party editing program, though.

Yeah, the help says it's not possible - delete and re-enter. I misunderstood, thought the new editor would allow that. I have used it to edit a post.
