As Falcon pointed out in an earlier post...in another galaxy....far, far away... The Nursery rhyme of Humpty Dumpty, never mentions the fact the he is an egg. So what is the origin of the Rhyme? Could it refer to a large cannon by the same name, on the roof of the church[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] [/FONT]'St Mary's by the Wall' ? Or could he be Charles I, himself?
