    Strawberries are NOT berries???? SubhanAllah, my favourite fruit is not what I have thought it to be for my whole life .

    At the Humpty Dumpty one, I suppose an egg is one of the things which you can crack but never put back together? Hmmm, which begs the question, what was Humpty Dumpty?

    In 1600´s English, "humpty dumpty" was a parable of very drunked person. When a drunkard who felt off from the wall became an egg in the nursery rythm, may happened few centuries later.
