Are kings horses and kings men the usual egg fixing procedure?
Are you prone to wall sitting?
Responding to this on behalf of all of the world's eggkin, I'm incredibly offended by that nursery rhyme. Nowhere in the text does it imply that Humpty Dumpty is an egg. Why did they make him an egg? Because eggs are fragile? Because we can't take care of ourselves? Why were we just sitting on a wall, is that meant to imply that we're lazy? It is without a doubt the most racist and damaging interpretations of eggs out there, but it's so common. Everybody knows it! It disgusts me, truly.
