Stupid Questions

[Legend]

Stupid questions are very common on TiBB so i thought i'd give them a thread of their own.

Nah, there have been times i've wanted to know something daft but didn't want to start a whole thread for a 'stupid question' :whistle: so i decided to do a thread for them all.

Right, don't just pollute it with retarded questions that you know the answer too... there is actually a purpose of this thread. :hugesmile:

Anyhow, do they celebrate Christmas in Australia? I ask this for a couple of reasons; one being that it always seems to be sunny and light in Australia so it doesn't get you feeling 'christmas' and secondly, on Neighbours i've not seen any christmas decorations up and i've heard none of the characters talk about christmas presents etc. So, do they?

:bigsmile:

[BigSister]

yes they do Ant i know 2 Australlian members on another forum and they celebrate christmas

[MarkWaldorf]

What are squares?

Not the shape, Dan used it to describe people.

[MarkWaldorf]

Lmao Anthony it's summer over there. Not winter, so I doubt they would so all the snow and all that.

[sol]

Yeah they do cos I had an Australian teacher who taught me for 2 terms in Year 5 at Primary School who told us how they celebrate Xmas over there.
Apparently a lot of them go onto the beach and have a BBQ :laugh:

[Dan_]

They certainly do but it's just during their summer so it kinda comes off as not being much like christmas.I've seen it mentioned a few times on neighbours.

They are mainly a Christian country so yeah they celebrate it.

[Legend]

Thanks for that Becca, seeeeee there is definatly a purpose of this thread. :tongue:

Mark, it's probably just a word Dan has made up to describe somebody, maybe he thinks that person has a square head? I honestly couldn't tell you.

Aussies celebrate Christmas just on the beach (if this is true I don’t know but my mum’s friend does whose Aussie) and on neighbours you never see it as we are 3 or so months behind on neighbours....

It is December over there, but not winter. :hugesmile:

They're on the other side of the world, so the sun rises etc and the hemisphere is at a different angle for them. Hence the differences in weather.

Well he fell off the wall and broke right? If he was a human, he wouldn't have broken apart. So maybe because he broke apart people think of him as an egg?

Everybody knows the nursery rhyme Humpty Dumpty, it's about an egg that falls off a wall and nobody can put him back together again. But what does it mean? Where did ti come from? Why is Humpty Dumpty an egg?

You'll notice that even though Humpty Dumpty is an egg to most of us, it never says that in the rhyme. Originally the rhyme was just about a short clumsy person and at the time "humpty dumpty" was slang for a short clumsy person.

There are a few different theories on what Humpty Dumpty is about. One theory is that Humpty Dumpty was a powerful cannon during the English Civil War. It was mounted on top of a tower defending the city of Colchester. The enemy attacked for 11 weeks before they finally hit the tower holding the cannon and Humpty Dumpty fell to the ground and broke. The King's horses and the King's men in the rhyme represent the cavalry and infantry who tried to repair him.

Another rumor very similar to that one is that Humpty Dumpty was a sniper nicknamed One-Eyed Thompson. This theory was exactly the same as the cannon theory. Same battle, same tower and everything, just that there was a sniper, not a cannon.

Others believe that Humpty Dumpty referred to King Richard III of England. Shakespeare depicts Richard III of England as a little hunchbacked man in his play which is why people would call Richard III of England a short, clumsy person. Falling off the wall and falling to pieces represents Richard III of England falling off his horse and being hacked into pieces during the battle of Bosworth Field. However, despite Shakespeare's depiction the real King Richard III of England was not a hunchback.

So if any of these are the origin of Humpty Dumpty then why is Humpty Dumpty an egg in the rhyme? Originally Humpty Dumpty was not meant as a story but a riddle. Even though the last line of the rhyme isn't a question it's meant to be a riddle that has an answer. The answer to the riddle is that Humpty Dumpty is actually an egg, his clumsy round proportion is why he fell and it also explains why the king's men and horses couldn't put Humpty Dumpty back together again.

I still dont get it Corkie :puzzled:
