More Funny brake problems!?



Ok, Just to remind everyone... my brakes gave out on saturday.. pedal went 
the floor, m/c resivoir was empty.
I checked my wheels, nothing leaking from slave cyl's.  no leaking lines, i 
have stainless braided flexable ones, and its an ALABAMA car so the steel 
lines arent rusty, im not even gonna look at that! ;)  so i topped my master 
cyl off with "normal" brake fluid.. i have super blue in it.  Hopefully 
mixing super blue and normal shit wont do anything funny right?
Anywhoo.. i went to the right rear wheel and cracked the bleeder loose two 
times while my dad pushed the pedal from inside the car.  I tightened it 
back up.  I then started the car and i have better brakes then before i lost 
them on saturday!!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!????  The M/C is holding fluid 
and its not leaking or sucking air anywhere.  WHat in the HELL could have 
happened?
Somebody suggested before that the M/C could have blew out into the booster, 
i have not checked that, but how come its not "reblowing" back into the 
booster now that the resivoir is full???  Im really stumped... but also 
worried.. i dont wanna hit the brakes at 115mph and learn that i suddenly 
have NONE!  I dont think the e-brake will prove to be effective at a speed 
like that! ;)  Thanks

Oh yeah, its my red 16v rocco that im talkin about here.
