When I took medieval History we actually learnt a bit about this. There was a religious order called the Flaggelants who were a group of people who thought that the black death was a punishment from God. So to atone for their sins they would travel from town to town wearing cowls or hoods to obscure their faces and dress in solemn clothes. They'd lead a procession carrying banners with penitential sayings and images, to the church square singing litanies. When they got the church yard they would get into a circle and take off all their clothes except a skirt that would go down to their ankles. They then proceeded to move around the circle until the leader of the group would signal they'll fall to the ground where they would take various poses depending on which sin they'd committed and the leader would come through and whip them all. Then they'd all start whipping themselves in a rhythmic fashion. They'd do this about three times a day.Sahan wrote:Hmm, now that I think about it, that would be quite the serious dilemma there, so perhaps the humour there is darker than I first realised.
Ever heard the myth/anecdote that Ring-a-ring-a-rosey was based on The Black Death?
I seem to recall Snopes being the originator of that rumour. I know it's listed as truth in The Repository of Lost Legends (TRoLL), which is an automatic red flag that they're lying.smiley_cow wrote:Sing a Song of Sixpence is about Pirates
Further research reveals to me that this is indeed true. My whole world has just been turned on its head! What else have I been lied to about?Edminster wrote:I seem to recall Snopes being the originator of that rumour.

Replace the third line with 'fingerbang an Orangutan' and the fourth with 'it's an orgy at the zoo' and you've got the version I heard.mountainmage wrote:My friend sang me that song when I was in 8th grade. Your friend is not creative.Rainbow wrote:Fuck, fuck, fuck a duck,

Dude, Rainbow=13..13=8th grade. Therefore she is hearing this at exactly the correct time.mountainmage wrote:My friend sang me that song when I was in 8th grade. Your friend is not creative.Rainbow wrote:Fuck, fuck, fuck a duck,

I like Rainbow's better. It has a better meter for that third line.Edminster wrote:Replace the third line with 'fingerbang an Orangutan' and the fourth with 'it's an orgy at the zoo' and you've got the version I heard.mountainmage wrote:My friend sang me that song when I was in 8th grade.

I know he didn't write it. As if that makes it any less hilarious. Also, heard this when I was 11, so 8th grade not.mountainmage wrote:My friend sang me that song when I was in 8th grade. Your friend is not creative.Rainbow wrote:Fuck, fuck, fuck a duck,
