 Posted Apr 15, 2002 by Scott Bennett-AKA Scoop I'm now really scared. I just spent a whole day trying to remember this rhyme for no good reason and now I come online and it's here on the front page. Thanx for answering my poor memory though.

 Posted Apr 29, 2002 by Paul H . If you think I look old, you should see my father In more recent times, the tune for this rhyme has been used in television commercials, most notably one for Chef Boyardi canned pasta products.
I remember the Orwell "1984" sequence well. The book was written 1948 (the year of my birth, and Orwell's death). Orwell transposed the "4" and the "8" in that year, and the result was "1984," the year and title of his book. Clever. Also a depressing scenario.
