Title: Scientists trace origins of ‘Little Red Riding Hood’
Post by: viper37 on November 15, 2013, 02:50:08 PM
Because it was very important to know (http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/home/science/Scientists-trace-origins-of-Little-Red-Riding-Hood/articleshow/25793361.cms)

Well, the good side of this story, is that math can help in your litterature studies ;)

So, no reason to skip math classes in high school now :P

I'm skeptical of stuff like this.  It reminds of that Russian guy who used math to prove human history only goes back 1200 years.

Little Red Riding The Hood isn't 1,000 years old.

Is that the same one who says that the Dark Age didn't happen (not in an obnoxious it-wasn't-dark-because-they-had-a-great-and-not-at-all-ignorant-culture way... but rather in a that-part-of-history-didn't-happen-at-all way)?

I think he sees the Dark Ages as "Pre-history".  Written history only starts around 1000 AD and the rest of it was made up by the Jesuits.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Chronology_%28Fomenko%29

It's the Princess and the Pea. Don't think Disney's made a movie of that yet.

I'd have guessed Sleeping Beauty due to the mattresses.

Sleeping Beauty didn't sleep on a tall stack of mattresses, she pricked her finger on a spindle and that cursed her to sleep until a prince came along to break the curse.

Princess and the Pea is great. How do you know if someone is a real member of royalty? They will bitch and moan about the accommodations after you graciously take them in.
