Manhattan, I asked a question, and Commander was giving smart ass answers. Of course I used a search engine but NOWHERE could I find how he actually escaped. Then Commander again badgered me saying “look at the link I provided” and NOWHERE on his link did it mention how he escaped. What was I supposed to say to him?
“Thanks Commander for posting a useless link that was irrelevant to my question.”
So if anyone out there can answer this question, please do:
How did Casanova escape from prison?
Look man, you’d better give it up. If you can’t find it with a search engine, go to the library.
“Look man, you’d better give it up. If you can’t find it with a search engine, go to the library.”
The whole point of this message board is to ask people questions that you don’t know the answer to.
Hmmm let’s see if you’ve ever asked a question here… Oh my god!!! What’s this???
TOPIC STARTER: Argyle87
“What does the term “K-Car” actually mean?”
But wait… there’s more!!!
"Ever watch movies about the military? They always refer to a unit of linear measurement called a “click”. I have been wondering about this since I was a kid, what the hell is a “click”?
Well why the heck didn’t you go to the library Argyle? I mean jeez, stop wasting our time.
Try doing your own, you may even learn something.
Somebody must know, surely!!!
Dippy, your first thread was basically asking for a biography of Casanova. As polite and as knowledgeable as we can be, no one here is going to give you a complete detailed biography when there are adequate resources available to you.
You then got all snippy and bossy when no one would answer and manny had to close the thread.
Now you are opening a new thread with a more specific question (if you had asked this one originally you would have gotten a much less hostile response), yet your irritating impatience is still obvious.
If anyone decides to answer your question at this point, dippy, they would be a saint. In the future, don’t insult those you seek answers from.
I didn’t insult anybody who didn’t insult me first
“Mommy, he started it first!” Geez, what a whiner.
Try this website, which has the section of his autobiography concerning the escape. It’s too detailed to summarize:
Thanks for your help Guy, but I have already been there and it doesn’t say how he escaped.
I’m on the Dippster’s side here. If you’re all so d*mn smart how come you can’t answer her (?) question? Even your almighty links are of no help, apparently.
And gotta love her retort about Argyle’s “click” question! If memory serves, that was shot down in a shower of rapid-fire replies that would make the St. Valentine’s Day massacre look like a pee-shooting contest.
So why don’t you all just lighten up a little? A debate along the lines of “I’m right and you’re wrong” is good-natured fun; one along the lines of “I’m smart and you’re stupid” is rude.
Hmmmm… Never been to a PEE-SHOOTING contest, I wonder what that’s like. I wouldn’t say that my questions were “shot down”. I think adults would call them “answered”. I’m not going to waste everyone’s time defending the questions I have asked, but suffice to say that if you are not interested in answering them, don’t. I’m not berating dippy’s question, but no one here could seem to adequately answer it. Opening a new thread was not the proper course of action. I was simply trying to stop this thread form deteriorating into the same childish whining festival that the previous one became. Sadly, I was unsuccessful…
Okay, you caught my typo; it’s PEA, not PEE. I concede the point.
In the defense of a lady’s honor I would gladly endure the shame of a hundred typos! So there, you brute.
Dippy, what is your problem? Here’s the short answer to how Casanova escaped. He pretended to be sick to be moved into another cell, he found a piece of metal and sharpened it to a point, he dug down through the floor of his cell, and he lowered himself down with a rope made out of sheets. Now if you want more details, no problem, go to the site that several posters have given you the link to. It is Casanova’s first hand account of his escape and goes into more detail than any sane reader would want to know. He tells you the contents of his cell, how he faked his illness, how many enemas he received as treatmant, where he found the piece of metal, how many hours it took him to sharpen it, what the point he made looked like, what materials the floor he dug through was made of, how thick the floor was, how many hours it took him to dig through, what the room was like he was digging to, and dozens of other facts as well. He does everything but tell you what color socks he was wearing (and I may have missed that).
Are we done now?
Firslty, I am a guy. not a female.
Secondly, Little Nemo, NOWHERE on ANY of the links provided does it say HOW he ACTUALLY ESCAPED. Yes I know it says where he found a piece of metal and how long it took him to dig a nice hole but if you bothered reading the rest of it you would notice that he got MOVED from that cell into a different cell. “He lowered himself on a rope” and where on any of the links does it say he did this??
Can you request that somebody be banned from the SDMB?
Yeah I also agree that argyle87 should be banned. I mean, he has just posted yet another useless bit of information that is irrelevant to the topic of this thread.
Hey, man or woman, a little gratitude would be nice. It’s not exactly like your swimming in friends here.
Ahhh stuy guy, if you have to come on the internet to make friends, you have got some serious problems.
Certainly don’t need friends like you. He’s all yours, boys. See ya.
