Who would name their daughter Humpty? That said who would name their son Humpty? What kind of parents did Humpty have? I'm beginning to think Humpty didn't actually fall at all...🤔
Definitely a he. In the song he specifically states "let me introduce myself. My name is Humpty, pronounced with an Umpty...all the other rappers in the top ten, please allow me to bump thee." 😜
The historical events that have been linked to “Humpty Dumpty” provide excellent stories, but are based on pure speculation. Given the actual evidence at hand, it is far more likely that Humpty Dumpty was not intended to be a story, but rather just a riddle posed to children for their amusement. The answer to the riddle, as stated, is “an egg”, which is why Humpty Dumpty today is nearly always depicted as such.
Very often, children's stories have a theme, like a special country or novel discoveries. Alice in Wonderland depicts the English societal forms of the time, while a Greek song tells about tram, electric scales, elevator. Humpty Dumpty may very well refer to that experiment that showed how strong atmospheric pressure is.
Humpty Dumpty is the name of a cannon. When it was fired it usually fell off the wall it was on and cracked it. Then they couldn't fix it because you can't just super glue a cannon back together.
Image calling a cannon "Humpty Dumpty"! Way to strike fear into the hearts of your enemies! No one knows what Humpty Dumpty is, so why is everyone so frickin' arrogant about it?
I love it... Spot on man... He could be an octopus for all the details given. I mean, how many eggs do you know with names? And how does the 'riddle' even allude to him being an egg?
Yes and no. It is an official regional language in Friesland but not at the national level. The term is "co-official" and if I remember correctly English is co-official too because it's official at a regional level.
It is misleading to say it is an official language of the Netherlands because that implies it is official across the country.
Oops accidently deleted my comment instead of replying, anyways, if you look it up you will need to scroll to you see the land area table in which case China is second. If you take away all the water in Canada it ranks 4th. Since the quiz says land area the answer is China. If you even check the wikiepedia page about area it shows its land area as higher than Canada's.
Another nitpicker here - I immediately knew the answer but eggplants can be several colors besides purple - white, pink, orange, yellow, or green. The commercial ones in the US are usually the honking big purple ones but their name originated from the smaller white ones that look like eggs.
For the kings of France one, I tried William, Henry, and Alexander. Eventually, I gave up afterwards. I suppose "French" was the clue there but honestly never thought of Louis.
< sarcasm > Here and surrounding counties he is known has Bertrand the Ovoid who is somewhat of a dandy and falls off a ladder after having his cravat is caught in a hanging candelabra. Everyone then enjoys a scrumptious custard made of his decadent innards and wipe their mouths with his embroidered lace shirt cuffs. Please accept that too < / sarcasm >
Actually, there are only 17 French kings called Louis. King Louis XVIII was the brother of the well-known king, Louis XVI, who was beheaded and his young son, Louis XVII died in prison during the french revolution.
Is the description meant to be a joke? That one should be able to get at least 90% on this 'easy general knowledge test'? Incidentally I got exactly 90%.
Argh the Muhammed Ali one had me stuck. I've heard that saying, but never knew what it came from. I kept trying to remember what the American planes were called in WWII for some reason, and just couldn't. Lol.
