The background on a lot of children's songs, rhymes, and games are
really fascinating. For example, there is one which ends in 
"Ashes, Ashes, all fall down." Which actually refers to the Bubonic
Plauge of the 1600's (or was it the 1500?). The bodies were created
but didn't stem the plague which killed, by some estimates, half
the population of Europe. "All fall down" was a reference to the 
mortality rate...

Now, back to photo-3d...
