Roger_Ramjet | Wednesday, October 11, 2000 - 12:15 am  LOL Moon. I thought you were going to turn in?? Too crowded outside for you tonight?? You have a very high charisma, don't you?? (and I'm not talking about Moon). It comes through on your posts in here and outside. It's pretty strong--or you are a better actor than you are given credit for in real life!!! |
Moondance | Wednesday, October 11, 2000 - 12:29 am  lol Roger... and you are very sweet ... I love a challenge so as I am getting ready for bed, I keep coming back to read it again ... I need to let it go and go to sleep! I am busted... I need go to bed!!!! |
Roger_Ramjet | Wednesday, October 11, 2000 - 12:33 am  Good night Moon |
Moondance | Wednesday, October 11, 2000 - 08:59 am  Since Jane is human, I want to expand on Vykin's Morgue comment..... Jane is Jane Doe and is dead so she could not see people, signs or talk to anyone. The 'labyrinth' is used to describe the hallways because we know mazes are used in testing in labs so it is a sign that they are taking Jane to be used for research ... Hey, it's out there but this is what happens when you toss and turn all night with an ear ache! I have more off the wall ideas..... I am just thinking the more I put out there ... it might jar an idea with someone...BTW Good Morning everyone! |
Xenia | Wednesday, October 11, 2000 - 09:44 am  Hmmm...interesting theory. Since I have no clue about this puzzle I'm not going to disagree with you... What about if it was research or a lab maybe something having to do with technology or even a factory. I feel like "Japan" in this puzzle is like the "cows" were in the last one--not overly significant but a huge clue. When I think Japan, I think technology. |
Moondance | Wednesday, October 11, 2000 - 09:56 am  I thought about that too ... that's what I thought about labyrinth also... Can you think of a tie in withis Xenia?... Could she work for a puzzle company of sorts????? Or if it is tech stuff then it could be computerized voice in many different lanuages... walk this way... My mind is weird today Xen... Rein me in- I am out of control... I am glad you are up |
Luke | Wednesday, October 11, 2000 - 09:57 am  Morning Moondance... HOw is your ear? I'm rolling around ideas regarding not understanding the language. Do you think it's worth using a question to ask if Jane is alive? |
Arreal | Wednesday, October 11, 2000 - 10:03 am  I think the fact that this Jane is on a business trip says she probably isn't in a morgue, nor is she dead. JMO ---what about Jane as a baby with her parent |
Xenia | Wednesday, October 11, 2000 - 10:04 am  This could be a stretch, but what if she had a Palm Pilot-like device she was using that had a map on the screen and she was able to navigate that way? (This would emphasize the map theory) Luke: Are you purposely trying to ignore me? If so, good job! |
Luke | Wednesday, October 11, 2000 - 10:07 am  Whoa Xenia! That came out of nowhere... I tell ya what... this is for everyone who may be in here, but that I may have unknowingly but purposely ignored: Good morning to you, Good morning to you, Good morning, good morning, Good morning to you!  |
Xenia | Wednesday, October 11, 2000 - 10:07 am  I say we ask, does she have some sort of non-human aid--a navigation device of some sort--to help her find her way (i.e, signs, a map, a tech gadget...) |
Xenia | Wednesday, October 11, 2000 - 10:09 am  Thanks Luke! My ego is back to it's usual inflated form now. Don't ignore me again!!! |
Arreal | Wednesday, October 11, 2000 - 10:11 am  LOL Luke. Good morning, Xenia, Moon, Luke. Hope all had a good nights sleep and nice angel dreams. Hey Xenia, loved the message you left for Roger in the bathroom last night...hehehe...how did he react? Is it still there in all it's glory? |
Arreal | Wednesday, October 11, 2000 - 10:12 am  Go for it Xenia...ask if she has a map thing and ask if she is a baby |
Moondance | Wednesday, October 11, 2000 - 10:13 am  That sounds good Xenia... will you ask that... we only have asked one so I don't think this will hurt Arreal... good point about the baby ... Business trip is throwing me off from that... but we shouldn't ignore this good idea too BTW good morning all!!! |
Xenia | Wednesday, October 11, 2000 - 10:15 am  My turn: Good morning everyone!!! Areal: I think he was a bit shocked. His reaction: He cleaned up after me. Ewwwwwww.... And the message is still there in the bathroom. Ok, I'll go post the question... |
Luke | Wednesday, October 11, 2000 - 10:17 am  I can go into a rendition of "Good Morning" from Singing in the Rain (complete with dance steps) if anyone is interested... Here's an idea--maybe she can't understand the signs because she's illiterate, but is able to speak Japanese. |
Luke | Wednesday, October 11, 2000 - 10:19 am  Oh wait a second... she doesn't speak or talk to anyone... scratch that. |
Arreal | Wednesday, October 11, 2000 - 10:21 am  Things to notice. Jane may or may not have been to Japan before. We don't know what language the signs are in. We don't know time of day. We don't know about a map. We don't know if Jane is an adult or baby. We don't know how long the trip is. We don't know what languages Jane can read, if any |
Moondance | Wednesday, October 11, 2000 - 10:21 am  Luke .. LOL I keep having to reread the puzzle too! |
Moondance | Wednesday, October 11, 2000 - 10:22 am  You go Arreal! |
Xenia | Wednesday, October 11, 2000 - 10:24 am  Oh yeah...we should ask if she has been to the building before... |
Xenia | Wednesday, October 11, 2000 - 10:25 am  Thanks for pointing that out Arreal. |
Arreal | Wednesday, October 11, 2000 - 10:26 am  I do too Luke. Read it over and over and over agin, trying to pick up anything, trying to assume nothing. |
Xenia | Wednesday, October 11, 2000 - 10:27 am  Oh crap. I just reread it. SHe has never been to the building, but we should still ask (as Arreal suggested) if she has been to Japan. |
