research project #135

Requested by: Michael
Subject: Ring Around The Rosie
Question: Is it about the Black Plauge

Nope, it looks like it's not. Also not about Shiva, the Hindu deity. Academic opinion is that it was a way for children to skirt strict religious laws against dancing. Generally thought to be comprised of random rhyming words. Snopes had it covered but I followed up.

Anything else?

But what about "Ring Around the Oprah?"

Thanks, but I think you at least need to specify that I said that it's not about the black plague.

the word "need" seems to thrown around a lot these days...

As soon as "god hates Vegetarians" comes online, you can put all your theories about the black plauge out there.

leggo's site should be:

"God mildly dislikes vegetarians."

mine will be:

"If god didn't want us to eat animals, why did he make them out of meat?"
