💣 Humpty Dumpty Was Never An Egg!

from Si, Lana & The Breakfast Club · host rova | More FM

Wait... our entire childhood was a lie? 😱 In this latest Slightly Interesting segment from Si, Lana & The Breakfast Club, Bondy (in his usual "charming" delivery style) drops a history bomb that will change how you look at nursery rhymes forever. Forget the egg in a bowtie—the real Humpty Dumpty was actually a massive, heavy-duty cannon used during the English Civil War. We dive into the Siege of Colchester in 1648 to explain how this royalist weapon fell from a wall, why "all the King's horses and all the King's men" couldn't put it back together, and how it eventually morphed into the fragile character we know today. It’s the history lesson you didn't know you needed, delivered with that signature Bondy flair.
