At its core, yes that's what Darwin's theory of evolution is. That one species was adapted enough to survive, therefore other species would die out before that one would.

Kinda funny how people display that when they show the Jesus fish eating the Darwin fish. It illustrates "survival of the fittest."

Yeah, Ring Around the Rosie has many different connotations, but it's primarily in reference to the Bubonic plague.

While I was in London, this tourguide my group had insisted that the line "Ashes, ashes" in it, was actually "Achoo! Achoo!" (as in sneezing), because once you started sneezing soon after you were dead.

I am suddenly learning about the evilness in old children's songs recently, it's creepy.

it was a british dance called the hokey cokey

comes from wikipedia

According to Beth Ann Hughes "hokey cokey" comes from "hocus pocus", the traditional magician's incantation which in its turn derives from a distortion of hoc enim est corpus meum - "this is my body" - the words of consecration accompanying the elevation of the host at Eucharist, the point, at which according to traditional Catholic practice, transubstantiation takes place - mocked by Puritans and others as a form of "magic words". The Anglican Canon Matthew Damon, Provost of Wakefield Cathedral, West Yorkshire, says that the dance as well comes from the Catholic Latin mass.[2] The priest would perform his movements with his back to the congregation, who could not hear well the Latin words nor see clearly his movements.

I think that's bullshit...

Yeah, I know all about the putting a right arm in and taking a left foot out, but that's just the ceremony before doing the Hokie-Pokie, as is the "turn yourself around" bit which follows.

What is it really "all about"?
