alixtii: Drusilla holding a knife to Angel's throat. Text: "Got Freud?" (Drusilla)
Firefox doesn't seem to like me any more; it keeps freezing. And whatever happened to ?style=mine?

Anyway, I have The Oxford Dictionary of Nursery Rhymes which I got mainly to help me write Drusilla. In it are a couple of "riddles":

As I was going o'er London Bridge,
And peeped through a nick,
I saw four and twenty ladies
Riding on a stick.

Solution )

As I was going o'er London Bridge,
I heard something crack;
Not a man in all England
Can mend that!

Solution )

ETA: And here's another, just as impenetrable:

I went into my grandmother's garden,
And there I found a farthing.
I went into my next door neighbour's;
There I bought a pipkin and a popkin,
A slipkin and a slopkin,
A nailboard, a sailboard,
And all for a farthing.

Solution )

ETA2: More Randomness! )
