Oh yes, and of course the one which Agatha Christie made so popular:

Sing a song of sixpence a pocket full of rye,
Four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie.
When the pie was opened the birds began to sing,
Oh wasn't that a dainty dish to set before the king?
The king was in his counting house counting out his money,
The queen was in the parlour eating bread and honey
The maid was in the garden hanging out the clothes,
When down came a blackbird and pecked off her nose!

I mostly know the songs, such as "Ten green bottles", "London bridge is falling down" or "Mary, Mary, quite contrary".
I love how nonsensical they mostly are :-))

Do you have some another nursery rhyme?
Maybe, I will start teaching in kindergarten and I want to have some cute and easy rhyme for them, but I really can´t remember some of them...
Thank you :-)

Seing many magpies around these days I always remember a nursery rhyme about them:

one for sorrow
two for joy
three for a girl
four for a boy
five for silver
six for gold
seven for secret never to be told

and today I have found out there are a few more lines, actually:

eight for heaven
nine for hell
and ten is for the Devil's own self

I just love it. Let´s see what will magpies bring next time I count them :-))

Any number with sufficient number of iterations can kill you. At least you can suffocate when you are literally full of numbers ;)

23...if anything

23 can kill you as well

That's the point of the Universe, kid. But are we able to understand? To catch on to mighty 42?

Aditu, vloženo 17:46:51  09. 12. 2009

42

Spider, vloženo 16:34:43  09. 12. 2009

Mellor, vloženo 13:03:35  01. 07. 2009

What do you mean, stronger?

Mellor, vloženo 00:52:37  01. 07. 2009



It was stronger then me..

toomz, vloženo 17:08:25  30. 06. 2009

Yes! I had the same guess, but actually original is "It was surreal" so Czech translator was little bit more creative :) But still his original translation makes no sence.

So any suggestions for better Czech translation? :) I think there is only one right.

Meridion, vloženo 15:53:52  30. 06. 2009

"It was absolutely unreal." ???

toomz, vloženo 14:51:44  30. 06. 2009

Nope :) Iwo was closer (I now googled it)

Kroc, vloženo 14:28:52  30. 06. 2009

of " It was fantastic!" .....that´s sounds better :o))

Kroc, vloženo 14:27:30  30. 06. 2009

It was unbelievable? :o)

toomz, vloženo 11:38:35  30. 06. 2009

This sounds much better but still I think the original was little bit different :)
