99% of people don't know that many nursery rhymes have dark meanings �. Let's go through some:

LONDON BRIDGE IS FALLING DOWN:

There are many theories behind the origin of this rhyme, and they're all dark. But the most popular is that it's about child sacrifice.

Back then, it was believed that a bridge would collapse unless a human sacrifice was buried at the foundations. The practice is called immurement, which is to entomb someone within a structure, where they slowly die from lack of food and water.

The game played while singing this song has kids form an arch, and others run underneath till the end of the song. Whoever was left at the end, was trapped by the hands of the two kids forming the arch.

JACK AND JILL

There are two possible origins for this rhyme:

First. Jack and Jill were believed to be France’s Louis XVI and his wife, Marie Antoinette, who were convicted of treason during the French Revolution, and beheaded. Jack or Louis XVI, lost his “crown,” i.e. his throne and his head. And Jill, or Marie Antoinette's head soon came tumbling after.

Another is that it originated when King Charles I attempted to reform the tax on liquid measures. Parliament rejected his suggestion, and instead, he made sure that the volume was reduced on half- and quarter-pints, known as jacks and gills, respectively.

BAA, BAA, BLACK SHEEP

This rhyme isn't innocent, but about a tax imposed on farmers by King Edward of feudal England, back in the 13th century.

One-third of the wool was taken for the king or the Master, one-third for the Church or the Dame, and one-third for the farmers.

Nothing was then left for the shepherd boy, crying down the lane. Black sheep were also considered bad luck because their fleeces cannot be dyed and so they were worthless to the farmer.

HUMPTY DUMPTY

Humpty Dumpty wasn’t a real person; neither was it an odd, fragile egg-shaped thing/person.

Instead, it was a cannon owned by the supporters of King Charles I.

Humpty Dumpty was used to gain control over the city of Colchester during the English Civil War. Once in Colchester, the cannon sat on the church tower until a barrage of cannonballs destroyed the tower and sent Humpty into the marshland below.

Although retrieved, the cannon was beyond repair. Humpty the cannon was a feared and effective weapon.

RING AROUND THE ROSIE

This rhyme refers to the Great Plague of London in 1665.

The “rosie” from the rhyme refers to the rash that covered the ones who contracted the disease, the smell of which they tried to cover up with “a pocket full of posies.”

The plague killed nearly 15 percent of the country’s population, which makes the final verse, “Ashes! Ashes! We all fall down” self-explanatory —the cremated remains of those who died of the plague.

THREE BLIND MICE

The "three blind mice" were believed to be a group of Protestant bishops—Hugh Latimer, Nicholas Radley, and The Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Cranmer. They conspired to overthrow the queen and were burned at the stake for their heresy after their plan failed.

Some suggest that the blindness in the title refers to their religious beliefs. While others say they were also blinded and dismembered, as if being burnt alive wasn't enough.

GOOSEY GOOSEY GANDER

This rhyme is about what happened after England became Protestant following King Henry VIII's creation of the Anglican Church, and plenty of Catholic priests refused to follow the Protestant faith.

To avoid punishment, these priests set up small rooms in their homes to pray in, but if they were found praying in Latin, as the Catholics do, they would be “thrown down the stairs,” or put to death.

HERE WE GO ROUND THE MULBERRY BUSH.

Historian R. S. Duncan, who was also the warden of England’s Wakefield Prison, posited that the song's origin lies in the practice of female inmates singing this, who were exercised around a mulberry tree.

Which is probably not the connotation your six-year-old self had in mind.

ROCK-A-BYE BABY

One interpretation of this famous lullaby is that it is about the son of King James II of England and Mary of Modena. It is widely believed that the boy was not their son at all, but a child who was brought into the birthing room and passed off as their own to ensure a Roman Catholic heir to the throne.

Did you know, the spear that was used to pierce the side of Christ is called the Spear of Destiny, or Holy Lance, and it is said that whoever hold possession of the spear holds the destiny of the world in his hands, and has power to control the world.

True to this, about forty-five great Emperors of history had claimed the Spear, letting it serve as their talisman while they conquer territories.

Some of the emperors include:

Constantine The Great who claimed the spear guided him during the battle that settled the rulership of the Roman Empire and lead directly to the proclamation of Christianity as the official religion of Rome.

Theodosius (385 A D.), the man who tamed the Goths with the Spear.

Alaric The Bold (410 A.D.), a savage convert to Christianity who claimed the Spear after he had sacked Rome.

Theodoric (452 A.D.). He rallied Gaul with the Spear to vanquish the barbaric hordes at Troyes and turn back the ferocious Attila The Hun.

Justinian also claimed the Spear, and it was he who reconquered the old Roman Empire.

Justinian is said to have raised the Spear when closing down the “Schools of Athens”, exiling great Greek scholars.

Karl Martel (732 A.D.) used the spear as a weapon when he led his army and gained a miraculous victory over the massed forces of the Arabs at Poitiers (732 A.D.). Defeat here would have meant that the whole of Western Europe would have succumbed to the rule and religion of Islam.

Charlemagne (800 A.D.) the first Holy Roman Emperor, is said to have founded his whole dynasty on the possession of the Spear. Charlemagne fought 47 campaigns with the assurance of the Spears 'victorious powers.v

Before World War II, the Spear of Destiny, was exhibited in the Hofburg Museum in Vienna. At the time it attracted the attention of the young Adolf Hitler, who linked it with legends of the Holy Grail and made his own plans to be a man of destiny.

In the first stage of his plan for world conquest, Hitler led troops into Austria in 1938, and one of his first acts was to remove the Spear of Destiny from the Hofburg Museum.

The spear was buried beneath the Nuremberg Fortress, where it was discovered on the day that Hitler shot himself in the Berlin bunker on April 30, 1945.

Some believe the spear has occultic powers, especially those who don't identify with Christianity, whereas Christians believes otherwise.

The Spear is currently in the Hofburg Museum

The Rotten Teeth of Queen Elizabeth I

Queen Elizabeth I had rotten, smelly teeth and yet she was the most fashionable woman of her time.

The medical devices, health supplements and cosmetics we have today were only figments of people's imagination in Queen Elizabeth I's 16th century England.

But while all those were unavailable, sugar was in abundance and it was a luxury only the rich could afford (of course, in the 16th century, consuming large doses of sugar daily, was one of the ways to show that you are rich). So, Queen Elizabeth I took more than enough sugar. Every meal she took was accompanied by lots of sugar.

It wasn't long before her teeth started to rot. People stay at arms length to talk to her because not only was her teeth rotten, they also smell terribly.

There were no sophisticated toothpaste or toothbrush as we know it today, but there were Barber dentists who could ensure the Queen's dental hygiene.

But the Queen just wouldn't have any dentist poke her teeth with any dental tool.

And as they say, the rest is history.

Javed Iqbal Wanted 100 Mothers To Cry

In December 1999, Iqbal sent a letter to the Pakistan police confessing that he raped and murdered 100 boys, all aged between 6 and 16.

According to him, he first strangled and dismembered the victims, and disposed of their bodies using vats of hydrochloric acid so as to hide his trail. He then dumped the remains in a local river.

He was not kidding, he claimed he wanted 100 mothers to cry for him and this is why:

Iqbal's motive was to revenge a perceived injustice at the hands of police who had arrested him on charges relating to an act of sodomy against a young runaway boy in the 1990s.

No charges were brought in relation to this offence, and his mother had "been forced to watch him decline" before suffering a fatal heart attack. He had therefore resolved to make 100 mothers cry for their sons as his mother had been forced to do for him before her death.

Iqbal was sentenced to death in the same manner he had killed his victims: strangled to death in front of the parents whose children he killed, his body cut into 100 pieces (for each of the parents) and put in acid.

However, the Pakistani Interior Minister faulted the sentence, claiming that such punishment is against humanity rights. He opted for him to be hanged instead.

But Iqbal hanged himself in his cell before the execution could be carried out.

This Russian guy ( Kirill Tereshin ) desperately wanted to be a muscle man ( you know, the type of muscle guy that many ladies love) so instead of spending hundreds of hours at the gym, using dumbbells and other equipment to build his biceps, he took the fast lane. Sharp guy.

He injected three litres of Synthol into his biceps and triceps.

The result?

Well, the result is what you see in these pictures. He got abnormally large biceps and more than 5 corrective surgeries to remove the 3-pound stony, dead tissues in his biceps in order to save him from dying of face amputation.

The dangerous chemical he injected into his biceps saturated his muscle tissues, blocked blood flow, and killed the tissues. Without a surgery, he won't survive to tell the story of his foolishness.

He isn't only a fool, he is also broke. He didn't have the money to pay for his surgery. Perhaps he would have died if it wasn't for Russian plastic surgery activist named Alana Mamaeva who helped to raise money for the surgery.

Do have a wonderful day

Throughout history, people have used the name of God and religion for different ends and reasons. The story of the "Children of God" is one of the best historical lessons that serves as a good example.

The "Children of God Church" or officially "Family International" was a supposed church established by David Berg in 1968.

The Children of God Church preached Jesus and also promiscuous s!ex.

Women in the church have the responsibilities of going out for evangelism. But their type of evangelism was a bizarre one.

They used the Bible and sermons to evangelize and they also used se!x. To bring in new members to the "church" and make them "Christians", the women lure men into the church through casual sex. Female members of the "church" successfully lured over 100,000 men into their so-called church.

This practice of evangelism through casual sex, was based on a philosophy called the Law of Love. The idea behind the Law of Love is that, people should be willing to give their body freely to anybody as a way of showing their great love for God.

Later when the story of rape, kidnapping, child abuse, incest and other cringe-worthy stories started making the rounds from the Children of God, the FBI declared that the Children of God was not a church, but a cult.

In connection with Interpol, the FBI got to work in shutting down the cult and also incarcerating its leader. But the leader, David Berg, was on the run.

Government investigation into the cult ended when David died in 1994. The cult also crumbled afterwards.

In ancient Rome, suicide was never a general offense under law.

A citizen who wants to commit suicide must first apply to the Senate. If the application is successful, the government itself makes an arrangement to make the citizen drink poison.

There are only three cases where suicide is forbidden:

1. People accused of capital crime can't commit suicide. This is because if a criminal commits suicide before the law tried and judged him, the government loses the right to seize the criminal's property.

2. Soldiers are not allowed to commit suicide. If a soldier commits suicide, the government will interpret it that the soldier is a coward running from battle. With that interpretation, a soldier who commits suicide faces the same judgement as the soldier who deserted his comrades during war.

3. Slaves are not allowed to commit suicide. If a slave commits suicide within 6 months he was purchased, the master has the right to claim a full refund from the former owner of the slave.
