"A puzzle for yous all..."

My first is in biscuit but never in cake
My second's in awesome but not in great
My third is in mother but not seen in dad
My fourth is in sunny but never in sad
My fifth is a vowel found in water not creek
My sixth is found only in one day of the week
My seventh's two of three that you learn when you're young
My eighth's not in song but it's there when it's sung
My ninth's in eleven and twelve, not thirteen
My tenth is in island and river, not stream
My eleventh's in precious and secret and paste
My twelfth is in phantom and spectre and haste
My whole stalks the night in a quiet dreamlike state
With no memories the next day of being out late

Its actually irrelevant, but since this based on a true story I'll just tell you that he was actually in prison awaiting execution.

was he an inmate?
was he a guard or employee of the prison service?
could he have faced a greater penatly, i.e. prison over the death penalty?
did he fear what he might do out of prison?

she might borrow it, or she might play it at someone else's house, or someone might take it to her house, or someone might chain her to her gamecube until she's finished it.

Its a paradox. How could Ros put metroid prime in her gamecube, when she is NEVER going to buy it?
