While we're a reasonable bunch, we do have some expectations for the etiquette of our posters and want you to know what will keep you in the Monkey cage, or excommunicate you to the wild jungles of the Internet to swing on a few vines to relax yourself. Needless to say, we'd like to cage you here rather than set you "free." Follow the guidelines below (there's only 3 - humor us) and you'll spend many a happy day picking flies off each other, chattering, and bouncing off the walls.

Monkeys will avoid feeding the trolls. True trolls are a rare breed; and the owners, admins and moderators know what and who they are and we have super-dooper bug spray to get rid of them. 'Nuff said.

Monkeys will use proper social etiquette in expressing their opinions. There are always more than 1 side and opinion to every story; some posts you will like and agree with, and others you won't. While lively debate is appreciated, moderators and forum admins reserve the right to admonish and/or eject, without notice, those parties who debate using insults, engage in name-calling, or otherwise imflammatory posts. Act like you're at a public place using the manners your mother taught you and you'll be just fine. If you don't have manners, don't bother posting as it just wastes our time mashing the "banned" button. We've got other things to do.

Monkeys recognize that the forum threads and some functionality may be temporarily unavailable at times. During high peak periods, forum operators may disable some features such as avatars, sig lines and the like. We'll restore it when the hooplah dies down. Likewise, we reserve the right to edit, delete or move posts or threads in any manner that we choose. Hey, when it's your house, you can move the furniture.....


enjoy!

It's getting better...and we hope to have new stuff on the way.  also, I saw a question abou the Monkey Junkey tags:  we're working with Ranking where you get a new tag for a specified minimum # of posts.   some folks who have 500 or more posts already have them....

Last night, there was a discussion about dark the beach was during the Greta walk through. I haven't seen it, don't have Fox here.

I'm posting a link to the actual weather conditions for 5/29:

http://www.wunderground.com/history/airport/TNCA/2005/5/29/DailyHistory.html

At the very bottom it says that the moon was 59% illuminated.

One thought. When you are filming with lights, the area beyond seems much darker. Also, ones eyes adjust. There may have been enough moonlight and starlight reflected off the water for it to be reasonably bright.

If aimed at twitty, the grabbing the twins would make more sense.

I thought that too...but a pretty girl might bring more pressure to bear....and all the lawsuits involved insurance scams as well and Jug is involved in insurance...

Like I said...just a thought..it would explain the FBI being involved so quickly...and if Van Der Sloot was on the take and was pressured into helping in the kidnapping he would definitely not talk knowing what could be done to his wife and other children...

also could explain some of the lack of information leaks to press and the comments from officials or press about the case being in a completely different direction from what it first appeared

Thank you admin for all your hard work. It is much appreciated.

yes indeed!

I lived in the Caribbean for 3 1/2 years and am a PADI scuba instructor.  We did night dives all the time (my favorite) as long as your eyes are adjusted to the lack of light, you can see dimly within about 25 ft most nights.

[HannieC]

Yes coco that bothers me also, b/c why would she mention it? She must have a reason to do that why would they look into the passengers of that plain and there wereabouts anyway?

[arubagirl]

Am leaving because it's picture time

Bye.

Geraldo live on FOX:

"We are getting fragmentary information that some of the suspects may be released. .... This report is absolutely unconfirmed.  "

[Angiex911dsptchr]

HUH? Anyone else listening to FOX.. did Geraldo just say the hearing is recessed for the day??????

unconfirmed - Geraldo's middle name...

I think he meant to say it's recessed temporarily, but I may be wrong....

[nancy_drew]

Geraldo scares me...he doesn't know what end is up!  It's really worrisome when he refers to info that's unconfirmed!!!  Yikes.

[HannieC]

Maybe they release paulus b/c it`s not established that he was one of the persons who saw natalee last.

[Kshe78]

kshe, the problem is that she is not obligated to testify whatever her son or husband told her. So there is no reason to pick her up


arubagirl - Thanks, I always forget that about Dutch law.  There might still be some light she could shed - along the lines of what someone else posted earlier.  

Did Joran do his own laundry on a regular basis, and if not, did he do it before you came back?  (Which would be unusual)

Who knows - just looking for something to help out, but thanks!

[KackyLacky]

as usual Whoraldo and his musn't touch, was incorrect. He just retracted his " fragmented release" thing to say there is some kind of recess and dad, joran and the others seem to be going back from whince they came.
