:o ....but this Mufti is opposed to such cruel and unusual treatment of prisoners. Please.... no dogs! Oh yea, I do have this get out of jail free card. :wink:

Yes, there are some really cool caves under Jerusalem, but you have to enter from a small hole, off the lit path, in Solomon's Quarries (which has another name, but I can't remember it), just outside the Old City wall, near the King David Hotel (I think). Pay the Palestinian "guard" a little extra when you go in. Bring a flashlight (torch). There are lots of pottery shards on the ground once you are in. There are entrances to lower sections that were closed off by the British when they left, that are supposedly vast and likely contained an underground city suitable for living during siege, or escape, as a Bedouin boy was once paid a few pounds to go way down through the cave and ended up coming out in a wadi a few miles from the city, on the way to Jericho. Some believe religious treasures were hidden or evacuated through the tunnels, and some believe the Ark of the Covenant passed through or may still be in the caves. Me, I just like crawling through caves. And I brought out lots of pieces of 1000+ year old pottery to give out to backpackers at the hostel I was living in at the time. I probably went down there a dozen times.

I'm told mine will probably arrive in around four to six weeks as I live in the UK. Long wait, but it'll be worth it.

Well good for you :) , ....and I'm now disappointed that I didn't get any extras. Guess that was to punish me for telling. :(

But everyone in the family now has a scarf, and my green shirt is nifty, but sadly does not have the dates on the back like I thought it did.
