montecito: I contacted these people and I think I might be able to get them to give up certain possessions to get the prisoners out.
Nakedmudpeople has a figurine of man and woman in the position.
Mickybwoy has a hat
Zellarrone1 probably has a hair curler
Grizzy...it was like pulling teeth to get him to give us something to barter with. He said he'll get back to me.
BestBefore has a telephone
UrKinght has a beard we can cut right off him
The Ad Robot said we can have whatever we want from his body...
I'll have to leave it up to you Auntie cause I'm going to raid my bathroom cabinet for some drugs....

don't forget the slightly used suit of armor and one small horse that gets a tad feisty when you shove a quarter in her
always glad to help a friend in need

bodleing: She really won't do that.
Trish is used to being a welcome guest wherever she goes.
Definitely not one to hide under a veil of secrecy.

In that case, just tell her that everyone is saying a prayer for her.
I know she'll appreciate that!

vinny1967: She will find solace in that all right 3 Weeks now.
I went to visit one of the prisoners and she said it's there's a possibility she will be there another week...
It's really a shame cause she would have made a great contribution to several of the threads that were on here in the past few days.
However, she works as a tailor in the prison mending stripes that get torn in fights and has been making some might fine money.
I hope the powers that be will consider putting this prisoner on probation soon.

vinny1967: Maybe the Mods are right and its an 11 day week ?
Who invented the seven day week ?
Who: The Babylonians who lived in Mesopotamia.
How: The Babylonians worshiped the Sun, the Moon and the Stars. They believed that those stars were so special and magical that they affected destinies of men and they also believed that they can predict the future by studying those stars. To them, Mars meant war and Venus meant love.
Five planets were known to them at that time and for each of the planets they dedicated a day, with the Sun and the Moon that made 7 days. Note that Sun-day refers to the Sun, Mon-day refers to the Moon and Satur-day refers to Saturn. In French and Italian, the rest of the days still refer to the other planets.
Source: A little History of the World, by E. F. Gombrich.
So if the all of the planets were known to them, we could have ended up with an 11-day week and probably with a 3-day weekend.

Wrong; the ancient Babylonians were Sumerians; it would be like saying people from Dublin are of a different ethnic, racial and linguistic background from the people that live around Cork.
The Sumerians in total, did not. and never had worshiped the Sun; they had a large number of Gods that they did worship, Enlil and Enki were the 2 main ones with Inanna as the female co creator of Humanity with Enki...look it up in the Encyclopedia Britannica or on line to Oxford University...

solitare: Wrong; the ancient Babylonians were Sumerians
Yes and no. Mostly no.
Babylon may have existed as a town at the time of Sumer, but when we speak of ancient Babylon, most of the time we are referring to the Chaldean empire of which Babylon was the capital. That was several centuries after the fall of Sumer. The most famous king of the Chaldeans was Nebuchadnezzar. He sacked Nineveh and thus ended the Assyrian Empire. It was under Nebuchadnezzar's rule that Babylon became a great power.

It's easy to break out of website prison.
All it takes is a shiny new file.
