I just know Humpty Dumpty didn’t just fall off that wall. I suspect Jack, the one from the previous post. First giants, now egg people. When will he be stopped?!
I always wonder about the whole egg thing. No where in the rhyme does it say Humpty was an egg. I think we are all victims of a scam brought about in the middle ages to promote a flailing egg industry.
The megacorps and the megabanks and their hold on government policy began as soon as money was invented. Matter of fact they are a government unto themselves whose sovereignty is protected by the very same governments they exploit.

I always knew there was more to HD’s story than met the eye. Maybe Sherlock will be the one to finally “crack” the case!

This is soooo hilarious! Their minds are “SCRAMBLED” trying to figure out what happened to Humpty.
I guessed he humped the wall too much and just plain lost his “footing.”
