This is fairly well known, actually, at least amongst the historical
groups. :-) It goes right along with the myth about =
ring-around-the-rosy
and the Black Death, or that stupid stupid list of 'well known phrases'
that describes the medieval origins of stuff like 'raining cats and =
dogs'
or the thing about the train tracks being determined by the width of a
horses arse.

--i was pretty sure the list of phrases thing was a hoax but i thought =
Ring Around the Rossies was a song about the Plague, is it not?

Sing a Song of Six Pence was used by who to recruit?
