Nursery Ryhmes & Hymns part I

Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water
Jack fell down and broke his crown
And Jill came tumbling after.
Up got Jack, and home did trot
As fast as he could caper
He went to bed and bound his head
With vinegar and brown paper.

my last day of holz guess ill spend it by bloggin XP

do you know the jack and jill nursery ryhme?or rather do you know the story behind it?

Jack and Jill story
The roots of the story, or poem, of Jack and Jill are in France. Jack and Jill referred to are said to be King Louis XVI - Jack -who was beheaded (lost his crown) followed by his Queen Marie Antoinette - Jill - (who came tumbling after). The words and lyrics to the Jack and Jill poem were made more acceptable as a story for children by providing a happy ending! The actual beheadings occurred in during the Reign of Terror in 1793. The first publication date for the lyrics of Jack and Jill rhyme is 1795 - which ties-in with the history and origins. How about that when we were kids we would be singing that nursery ryhme about the execution of our so called jack and jill.

Death by Beheading
On the gruesome subject of beheading it was the custom that following execution the severed head was held up by the hair by the executioner. This was not, as many people think, to show the crowd the head but in fact to show the head the crowd and it's own body! Consciousness remains for at least eight seconds after beheading until lack of oxygen causes unconsciousness and eventually death. the execution methods at that time is so much more disgusting than the execution methods now blehh! i can't believe that there is even a crowd watching it haha at least now we don't use the guillotine....i'd be sicken by the gory sight..ugh.. for more information about the nursery rhymes go to www.ryhmes.org.uK

Mad Sailor or Mat Saleh?

haha hmm do you know why the malay's call whites mat saleh?hehe i heard this from a friend last time. im sure you know that last time the british invaded malaysia right well do you know there are sailors also right so when the white sailors go to a tavern or somewhere for a drink they would drink until they were drunk and would start crapping and shouting for things and ladies and such.so when that happens the other whites there would cry out "MAD SAILOR!! MAD SAILOR!!" so the malays who have no idea whats going on would join in thinking that the white call each other that and cry out "Mat Saleh!! Mat Saleh!!" so they pronounced it wrongly and there came the word Mat Saleh to describe Whites =D
