When I saw "the Dawn" it made me think of the Dawn dish washing soap commercials with all the little ducks, birds, and the like.  But the more I read, hey I guess I could be right.  Not man made but bore from his evil, being that we are drilling it out of the ground for consumption, and it can't yearn nor die, and it's highly visible once it leaks out.

He said no doors and no windows, and assume the wall is made of brick.

I know that's the answer to mine but you'd be surprised at the number of people that would say break the window with the bat.  I just shake my head at them.

As for the room you can't escape it's a riddle and play on words to escape.  'Look in the mirror and see what you saw, take the saw and cut the table in half, Put the table back together, two halves make a whole (hole), climb through the hole.'  :)

Thats easy... ME!! During the day when Im sober, Im on two legs. As I start my first few rounds of beer, I may end up getting on three legs. After about three hours of some heavy drinking, Im on all fours, puking my guts out. Then I wake up on two legs again, with a killer hangover.
