And you wonder about OUR generation?

[1066gull]

These are the stories you brought us up with......


Snow White lived alone with seven men.
Little Red Riding Hood didn't listen to her mother and went out.
Sleeping Beauty was kissed by a stranger and married him.
Jasmine was in a forbidden relationship with Aladdin.
Pinocchio was a liar.
Robin Hood was a thief.
Tarzan walked without clothes on.
Cinderella lied and sneaked out at night to attend a party.

you are so right, not forgetting Lady Godiva and the Emperor with(out) his new clothes............ no wonder we all ended up the way we did

not forgetting that complete NORBERT King Canute.........trying to hold back the tide FFS , possibly historys' first fungus induced pschycotic episode.

The alternative "truth" is that King **** was so lauded by his army that he waded into the sea and commanded the sea to retreat in the safe knowledge that he couldn't do it as a demonstration that he WASN'T a God. A touch of humility that wouldn't go amiss with Charles...

The Very Hungry Caterpillar ... greedy bastard? or victim of neglect?

As it's widely known that the Grand Old Duke Of York 'had' 10,000 men, I'm thinking that 'marching them up to the top of the hill' is thinly-veiled polari.

Was Humpty Dumpty so pissed that he can't sit on a wall without falling off?

Sounds like a good lifestyle choice to me.

I think that depends. Not all that clever if he lived in, say, Portsmouth. Can anyone confirm?

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

That little mouse in the Gruffallo... pathological liar!

Message - It's ok to lie kids... in fact its quite funny.

That's what I had heard as well - lots about him on Wikipedia so it must all be true. Generally considered by historians to have been a "good bloke". Incidentally his name was spelled "****" but it is believed that he had it changed by deed poll due to several embarrassing incidences of pismrouncation.
