when some are greater and some are less?

We all are gods and is...

...1066
Sad day on Senlac Hill.
King Harald takes an arrow 
Through his royal eye.
And that Norman bastard,
Duke William, steals his crown.

Crocodile

...There was an old man from Carlisle
    Who went for a swim in the Nile.
    He soon gasped with despair
    When he came up for air.

Just twelve hundred...

So if you're feeling squeamish
Draw your curtains and lock the door

When the naked ramblers go on tour.
