Thread Name: BS: Pumpkin Power
Subject: RE: BS: Pumpkin Power
Very few people seem to grasp the actual significance of "Peter, Peter, pumpkin eater". When that was written, there were no pumpkins remotely approaching the size of today's giant specimans. Peter had to dismember her completely, and probably chop all the long bones in half, to begin to get her into that pumpkin shell.
