2. In the rhyme, 'Peter, Peter pumpkin eater', Peter put his wife into what?

Your answer: A Pumpkin shell

By what stretch of the imagination is this a Sci/Tech question?

You've got to admit it was a pretty high tech achievement, or a gihugeous pumpkin shell! Lol

No, I don't think anyone could stretch that far!

Still off topic, but fun (I think):


Peter, Peter, pumpkin-eater,
Had a wife and couldn't keep her;
He put her in a pumpkin shell,
And there he kept her very well

" This nursery rhyme also has its roots in America, unlike most that started in England. It was a different time back then for women, and for views on divorce, too, which is why this rhyme served to warn young girls about infidelity. Peter's wife was supposedly a harlot, and Peter's remedy for the situation was to kill her and hide her body in a giant pumpkin shell."

Maybe the pumpkin shell was originally designed by Buckminster Fuller? lol

I'd think hiding her in several regular sized pumpkins would attract a lot less attention than one giant pumpkin.

That question should probably be in Humanities since you have to be a Broadway musical major to know half of those questions anyway...
