but Humpty Dumpty was actually a seige cannon mounted on the fortiied walls surrounding Colchester, Essex
Colchester was a Royalist town laid seige by the Roundheads in 1648
The roundheads blew up the wall, and the cannon toppled to the ground
where the barrel shattered
"and all the kings horses and all the kings men couldn't put humpty together again"
right, history lesson over :lol:
Oh wow. Really?
