I love how children's rhymes and songs are found all over the world; for instance Ring a ring of roses, which I've heard several versions of from Australia, Canada, and indeed English-speaking people in many other countries.

Strangely I never heard of either of these. I mean, the one directed at girls I heard from the Powerpuff Girls intro. But never actually heard it used in a traditional sense.

Snips and snails and puppy dog tails (and ingredient X) are what the Rowdyruff Boys are made of, as I recall.

Sounds a bit more familiar in that context. Speaking of which, has anyone watched the abomination called Powerpuff Girls Z? I couldn't watch past the first episode. You know something's wrong when the anime remake of a children's television show is more tame than the original.

Just because I have to let my sci-fi geekiness out sometimes...
This "Ring a ring of roses" sub-discussion is a minor plot point in Orson Scott Card's Foundation-set short story "The Originist". Good story, and relevant to this chat.

Apparently the British and American versions have the sames line two and four, with the first line on my side of the pond being replaced with "Ring around the Rosie", and the third being replaced with "Ashes, ashes". Also, what the hell is "A-tishoo"?
