What confounds you?

[PirateKing]

We have a thread about things that piss you off, but what confuses you? Something ridiculous or strange that you can't wrap your mind around. Maybe it's something you're curious about.

Example 1: Why is humpty dumpty an egg? There's no mention of him being an egg in the nursery rhyme, yet he is. W. T. F?

Go ahead.

If you want, but why spoil the mystery? In fact, don't answer the person's rhetorical at all. If you do then I'll find you.

Because he doesn't want to show his ducky parts to other birds?

Humpty Dumpty was a cannon that was put on a high tower during the Civil War. He eventually fell off the tower and shattered. All the King's men couldn't repair him. The nursery rhyme depicts the story and Humpty Dumpty is depicted as an egg as a broken egg can't be repaired.

he broke when he fell, so he must have been made of something delicate and fragile e.g an egg shell

Because he is meant to 'break' into pieces and eggs break easily

We also used to sing a nursey rhyme at school called Ring a Ring o' Roses although it is widely believed to be about people dying from the bubonic plague during the Black Death

How certain artists will say or do things that to put it nicely controversial. But when they receive an award they thank God.

What has God to do anything with it? I'd thank my family and friends.
