Tom, Tom, the Piper's Son. "Tom, Tom, the Piper's Son" is a popular English language nursery rhyme. It has a Roud Folk Song Index number of 19621. Lyrics[edit] Modern versions of the rhyme include: Tom, Tom, the piper's son, Stole a pig, and away did run; The pig was eat And Tom was beat, And Tom went crying [or "roaring", or "howling", in some versions] Down the street.[1] The 'pig' mentioned in the song is almost certainly not a live animal but rather a kind of pastry, often made with an apple filling, smaller than a pie.[1] Another version of the rhyme is: Tom, Tom, the piper's son, Stole a pig, and away he run. This rhyme is often conflated with a separate and longer rhyme: Tom, he was a piper's son, He learnt to play when he was young, And all the tune that he could play Was 'over the hills and far away'; Over the hills and a great way off, The wind shall blow my top-knot off.
Tom with his pipe made such a noise, That he pleased both the girls and boys, They all stopped to hear him play, 'Over the hills and far away'. Berners Street Hoax. The Berners Street Hoax was perpetrated by Theodore Hook in the City of Westminster, London, in 1810. Hook had made a bet with his friend, Samuel Beazley, that he could transform any house in London into the most talked-about address in a week, which he achieved by sending out thousands of letters in the name of Mrs Tottenham, who lived at 54 Berners Street, requesting deliveries, visitors, and assistance.
On 27 November, at five o’clock in the morning, a sweep arrived to sweep the chimneys of Mrs Tottenham's house. The maid who answered the door informed him that no sweep had been requested, and that his services were not required. A few moments later another sweep presented himself, then another, and another, 12 in all. Theodore Hook, perpetrator of the hoax Hook stationed himself in the house directly opposite 54 Berners Street, from where he and his friend spent the day watching the chaos unfold.
The site at 54 Berners Street is now occupied by the Sanderson Hotel. See also[edit] Notes. Computer Stupidities: The World Wide Web. One time, I caught my Mom working at the computer, printing out information for my brother's report. She was reading an article at Wikipedia, and she didn't know that if you edit Wikipedia, it stays there for the entire world to look at. So she was editing most of the links, pictures, and headings out -- and even put a little more at the top: "Here is the info, sweetie, good luck! " She almost pressed 'Save' when I went over and asked her what she was doing.
She said, "I'm editing out the things [my brother] doesn't need. " I explained about Wikipedia to her, and we were both cracking up for the next hour. I used to do tech support for a company that made computer accessories and video game accessories. Tech Support: "Well, just go to [URL].

When women go to choose a husband, they have to follow the following instructions:- You may visit this store ONLY ONCE! There are 6 floors and the value of the products increase as you go up.
You may choose any item from a particular floor, or may choose to go to the next floor, but you CANNOT go back down except to exit the building. One day a woman goes into the store and rather nervously starts climbing the stairs. When she gets to the 1st floor a sign on the door reads: Floor 1: These men have jobs. She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the 6th floor and the sign reads: Floor 6: You are visitor 31,456,012 to this floor. To avoid gender bias charges, the store's owner opens a Wives store just across the street. Thanks to Hekner.
