Wikipedia: The sea is technically a part of the Atlantic Ocean, although it is usually identified as a completely separate body of water. Why i post this? You are right first of all but as you can see most of the world does not consider it to be so. Therefore the question is clear enough not to cause confusion (is like asking about which direction does the sun moves over the horizon, everyone will answer without questioning the fact that is the earth that is moving and not the sun)

Most people know it as "Ring Around the rosey, pocket full of posey, ashes, ashes, we all fall down"!

I haven't had this question yet nor did I write it, but I do know it is about the black plague and the actual rhyme (or as close as I can remember) is:

"Ring a ring of roses, pocket full of posies (I think), achoo, achoo, we all fall down" and refers to the protection they tried to use against the plague.

Does this help with the question and answer? I don't know what answers were given and I don't know what the actual question is.

Also, I happened to know this without looking it up, but I doubt it is common knowledge.




The story goes in 1347 people sang this song because of the plague. The "ring" refered to the round red rash. The "a pocket full of posies" was the flowers ppl carried for protection. "Ashes" was a corruption of the sneezing sounds. And " all fall down" were the dead. It has a lot of variations. Amung the one we all know, the one listed above, there are also.

Ring a ring a rosie,
A bottle full of posie,
All the girls in town,
Ring a little Josie.

Round the ring of roses,
Pots full of posies,
The one stoops the last,
Shell tell whom she loves the best.

Ring-a-ring o' roses,
A pocket full of posies,
One for jack, and one foe jim,
And one for little moses.
A-tischa! A-tischa! A-tischa!

Ring, a ring o'roses,
A pocket full o' posies,
Up-stairs and down-stairs,
In my lady's chamber-
Husher! Husher! Cuckoo.

BUT the actual history of the meaning is up to interpritation. All of these version are said to be from around the same era. But noone has any idea the true meaning of any of them.

The actually meaning wasnt even published until 1961. And by that i mean it was never published before this date that this song refered to the black plague.

Many believe the songs derived from religious bans on dancing. And that adolescents would play these songs as games in which rings were involved. They even had more the one dance or game. "Little sally saucer" was also a song compared to this one.

So in the end songs like this and a tisket a tasket, hey diddle didle and even i am a little walrus all have no particular meaning. So to say it is for SURE this song is derived from the black plague actually is false.


See that, now I have even more useless knowledge about this! LOL, thanks for the added info.

Hi I would like to report a quiz error... the question goes

What are the names of the 3 wise monkeys of the see no, hear no, speak no evil fame?

Aadi, Abhi, Abhik
Moe, Larry, Curly
Ezo, Izo, Ozo
Mizaru, Mikazaru, Mazaru --> this is the answer

The answer is incorrect, Others believe that the saying originated from a Japanese play on words. “See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil,” translated into Japanese is, “mizaru, kikazaru, iwazaru.” The Japanese word for monkey is “saru”, and sounds very similar to the verb-ending “zaru”. It is easy to see how the saying may have originated from a fun play on words.

I just recived this question

What was the first religion to belive in One God
1) Christianity
2) Judaism
3) Islam
4) Buddism

It states that the correct answer is Judaism, but this is incorrect, the answer is not given on the list. There was a period in Egyptian history in which the believe in the Pantheonic belief (Worship of Multiple Gods) was stopped and Atenism( the belief in Ra-Horus-Aten, or more commenly refered to as simply Aten) was instilled as the a monotheism. This was done by the Pharoh Amenhotep IV who later changed his name to Akhenaten. The first document appeared in the 12th Dynasty, Amenhotep IV's rule was between 1815 BC – 1806 BC of the 12th Dynasty, which predates any documented date that I can find on Judisim.

A member of this confederacy or of any of its peoples.
Any or all of the languages of the Iroquois.

Wyandot, or -dots, also Wyandotte or -dottes. AKA huron peoples-

Regardless, according to the information there, this religion came to be long after the jews migrated to Egypt. Before the events stated in Exodus and their organization as a nation, but still they existed as an ethnic group within Egypt and worshipped only one god. Even the link speculates that the sudden and brief turn to Monotheism might have been of jewish influence.

But very nice trivia, didnt know there was a time Egyptians worchiped one god, you could use it in the quiz

Yeah, I re-read it. I'm kind of a dumass about Judisim cause I keep forgetting that it dates back prior to Moses and the Hebrew people being freed from slavery.

And yeah, I was considering making it into a quiz question but I never really got around to figuring what kind of question I'd make from it.

polar bear
575. hozzászólás - 2010.03.06. 22:29:50
the question that asks the heaviest bear is wrong. The correct answer in the database is marked "Polar".

People generally assume that the polar bear is the heaviest bear, but that is folklore, and incorrect. On AVERAGE polar bears are heavier then other bears, but the heaviest bear ever weighed is the Kodiak Grizzly.

Please fix this in the database, or fix the question to say 'on average'.

Thanks

What is Panserraikos?
The correct answer is: The best greek football team?.

Can anyone tell me how this team is the best in Greece?
Because for what I can tell of the information I can find, it appears that they are in the Greek 2nd Division (Beta Ethniki)...

I accept that they are a Greek football team... but "League Championships" decide who is the best, not someone's opinion!

First, it is unclear what a "mobile" is. Also, whatever they mean by mobile, It will certainly is going to be a debatable topic. And last, it requires lexical knowledge. I am really wondering about the question evaluators now
