The "Yes Men" sound byte came from DatDude, who rather vehemently protested my antics during the Revelations Incident and the aftermath.
However, I for whatever reason (don't ask me as I don't get it myself) I feel like it happened that same night Shinji returned, mostly because of ZOMG TEH Rei being there
If you really believe that Shinji would up and construct makeshift graves immediately, the rust would wash onto the cross within hours (thus requiring a rainfall, as well), and Shinji would so rapidly transition from the mindstate in Yume no Sukima to that in Final...
but also, if Asuka really does have the will to live on, wouldn't she return as soon as she could??
Why would she take a Roman Bath, and then at next opportunity curl up in an entry plug and chant, "I don't want to die"?
Anyway, I was going to ask what exactly the cores do, but Leaky answered for me, but I dunno how correct it is, so could one of you verify this?

I left my touch on that, except the "torso" part needs to be fixed.
And I don't like what it says about Adam's gender or lack thereof.
It's Leakypedia -- what was I supposed to do? I removed the "he" pronoun, but I figured "she" pronouns would go unappreciated; and even the little paragraph I leave regarding the "haha taru sonzai" line doesn't really fit with Wikipedia's purpose.
Anywho, I think it's safe to say all the Angels have cores, we just can't see them, such as the case with Ireul and probably some others
Armisael?
Leliel is no problem -- we see the core when her body cracks open.
(Where are Lil's and Adam's core??)
Lilith isn't part of the Adam lineage, so it would be "acceptable" if she didn't have one.
So, is it literal or symbolic? I always thought it was a mixture of both.
I want to clean up the Wiki entry for that; the arguing over whether Misato meant what she said is silly. (Perhaps I can find a comment that addresses the classification in one of my sources.) It's an expositional speech; if you take what she says at face value, it yields the "true" meaning of Angel, which has been discussed many times before.
