It represents Wilson's only link (besides the paperweight) to the England that used to exist. The book describes how each of the churches in the ryhme is now either destroyed or converted into something evil.

There is an urban legend concerning a code for mounted statues, whereby the horse's hooves are supposed to indicate how the rider met his end. One hoof off the floor would indicate the rider died of wounds received in battle, or perhaps was just wounded in battle; two hooves off the floor would indicate the rider was killed in battle. An examination of the equestrian statues in most major European cities shows this is not true. If it ever was true, the practice appears to have died out in the 19th century.\n\nI do not believe it means anything.

i never heard of that.  but i assume it is a little one that stands behind the bride and holds her train.  i don't think they do that anymore.  check out footage of the royal wedding.  They are uber traditional, and would def. have any of that kind of stuff.

I believe that the person on the horse died while in combat.  It is sugnificant however, one leg down was due to an injury caused from combat and both on the ground....Don't recall, will get back to you on that~!Died of natural causes (panzy)

Like you..I have search high and low for the "Humpty Dumpty" guy you're talking about, and I cannot find a thing...however, maybe you understand German? I found the Kinder website and perhaps you can write to them to get an answer to your question? I really tried for hours...sorry\nhttp://www.ferrero-kinder.de/index_html.htm

He built the "Mourning Wall", a symbol in Islamic culture. It was connected to his palace, but it's all thats left after they were attacked multiple times during the Crusades.

Try http://www.kingsport.org  \nThey have a place to e-mail them.  Ask their historian.  If any one knows, you can bet on those guys.  Probably still have a local write up in the archives.

The average width of a horses behind. No joke. No really...I'm not kidding. Look at the history of Roman road architecture.

People and animals that died were afterwards covered with coal dust from the eruption. The sediments were extremely fine-grained and they preserved even small details of the people who died there, thus creating natural casts (negatives).\nIn the 1860s, researchers were able to fill the casts with plaster to create molds(positives). Once the casts were broken, these molds were seen to be extremely detailed reproductions of those bodies. \nBrrr I get goosebumps just from thinking about it :-S

It wasn't shot, I think the horse you are thinking of survived the Hyde Park bombing and his name was, Sefton

Wasn't it that game with the stone hoop at the top of a really tall wall. They played with a ball type thing and whoever lost died as a sacrafice? Not sure, but I know they played this game just don't know what it was called...

When Andrew Jackson ran for president in 1828, his opponents tried to label him a "jackass" for his populist views and his slogan, "Let the people rule." Jackson, however, picked up on their name calling and turned it to his own advantage by using the donkey on his campaign posters. During his presidency, the donkey was used to represent Jackson's stubbornness when he vetoed re-chartering the National Bank.\n\n \n\nThe first time the donkey was used in a political cartoon to represent the Democratic party, it was again in conjunction with Jackson. Although in 1837 Jackson was retired, he still thought of himself as the Party's leader and was shown trying to get the donkey to go where he wanted it to go. The cartoon was titled "A Modern Baalim and his Ass".
