Straying off topic, thread evolver

I'd just like to say that this is my 6,981st post on Talk Photography. It's not a number which is particularly worth celebrating, and this seemed the right place in which to not particularly celebrate it. That is all.
 
I do find numbers fascinating. Especially the 9 and the 6. They are so alike yet very different. When put together like 69 there is perfect harmony. Love them.

Number 6, I am not a number, I am a free man. But are we really, we are all indexed and numbered !
 
Going back to Humpty Dumpty is it not just possible that its not based on anything and was just made up by someone back in the day. Just because something is old doesnt mean its automatically deep and meaningful. Will people in 200 years time be pondering the deep and meaningful historical message contained within:
There was a young woman from Leeds
Who swallowed a packet of seeds
Now blades of grass
grow out of her ass
and her fanny's all covered in weeds.

Ah yes Tarquin, the woman from leeds is a reference to St Tracy of Our Lady of wetherspoons etc etc

And how does a 2 ton cannon suddenly up and fall off a wall? Not buying that one.

It was during a battle, the cannon was considerably depleting the attacking army, so the attack was concentrated on the tower where the cannon sat, it fell as a result.
 
humpty dumbly was a siege cannon at the siege of colchester ,,the roundheads undermined the walls and it fell down .the defending royalists (kings men) couldn't re-assemble it .bet its still there buried if you knew where to look
 
now what does fascinate me is what hill did jack and jill go up ,surely water would be found at the bottom of a hill not on top ,gravity is a drag :agree: and the grand old duke of york had 10,000 men bet he had a shiny helmet to :banghead: :wave::wave:
 
I bet it was jack and Jill on top of Humpty Dumpty that caused its great fall.
 
Maybe they were trying to take water from its source - that would be on high ground.
 
He had a constant battle with his weight but managed to keep it up...
 
If you wanted power steering in the 60s you searched classifieds for chest expanders !

Now that brings back memories, men with hairy chests really shouldn't use them :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: who needs wax ;)

illogical answer ,to get the water from the top of a hill you would need to dig a well ,surely better to look for it at the bottom of the hill where it becomes a spring or stream and do no digging .

also how did they get a owl and a pussycat in the same boat without either of them predating one another !!! and if they went to sea in it how did they avoid the striking french dock workers when they got to the other side
 
But how did they get to the sea when operation stack blocks all traffic.

The springs on those things were useless and week for expanding the chest, so as a hair removal tool, at least they served a purpose. :)
 
By parachuting from a helicopter? ;) :P

They went to Holland instead.
 
Just checked in, and this silly thread is still going strong :thinking: seems we all have loads of silly off topic stuff to ramble on about.
