I just saw a trailer for a new movie coming out this summer. Its about a big shark that terrorizes some small New England town. Who is going to watch something like that? I can't see it making any money. The director, Spielberg, should have just kept doing tv shows and tv movies. He will never make it on the big screen.

A free outdoor concert near San Francisco?

I've just read that some guy at IBM has suggested that given the great advancements in computing, such as Colossus and ENIAC, they should build some things called 'mainframes' and exploit the market, even thought that worldwide market is estimated to be a total of seven. Dangerous optimist.

Wanted

1,000s' of serfs/slaves

Disgruntled with your owner?
Confused by your muse ()
Past it with your Master?

Then why not come to sunny Egypt where job opportunities are here in abundance

due to the enactment of tonnes of European nations clashing, we have new job opportunities in a warm climate with good views.
Not everybody has to be sold or captured into one of our slavery training schemes, and sure, it is true you may have to give-up your civil rights, but sometimes the economic security gained through your new status might seem to be worth giving up some freedoms for.

But hey, It's not all work, work, work !!! Most of it does involve stone masonry & light shifting duties, but there are prospects for slave-masters for the right ambitious people with whip skills of GCE/City & Guilds or greater.

or maybe you can speak Sumerian or Babylonian ? there are also opportunities for scribes & messengers
(must have at least 2 intact legs and be fleet-footed)
We will even consider applications from nomads. Well, guys, it has to be better than walking the desert


Contact between sun-rise & sun set and ask for Akhenaten.

Be the best.., join the dynasty that never rests


Terms & Conditions apply *

Always remember, Leviticus states a distinction between Hebrew debt slavery:

25:39 If your brother becomes impoverished with regard to you so that he sells himself to you, you must not subject him to slave service.
25:40 He must be with you as a hired worker, as a resident foreigner; he must serve with you until the year of jubilee,
25:41 but then he may go free, he and his children with him, and may return to his family and to the property of his ancestors.
25:42 Since they are my servants whom I brought out from the land of Egypt, they must not be sold in a slave sale.
25:43 You must not rule over him harshly, but you must fear your God.
and "bondslaves", foreigners:
25:44 As for your male and female slaves who may belong to you, you may buy male and female slaves from the nations all around you.
25:45 Also you may buy slaves from the children of the foreigners who reside with you, and from their families that are with you, whom they have fathered in your land, they may become your property.
25:46 You may give them as inheritance to your children after you to possess as property. You may enslave them perpetually. However, as for your brothers the Israelites, no man may rule over his brother harshly.
