OK, so it's a Whorl Train, but I have that song in my head.
And I'll thank you to stop badmouthing Philadelphia, my
adopted hometown, at least until I can get the hell out of
here.

Anyway, I would like to adopt Vizcacha's first question,
which is pretty much the same as my original one which got
lost in the rush to board the first train:

  "Mint states that she had to give up many things, 'five of
  them very great,' to become a sibyl.  Can you tell us what
  those five things were?"
