Humpty Dumpty Uncovered

The wind, a well-timed shove, depression, intoxication...all viable reasons for Humpty Dumpty's fall. However, in my research, I learned that there's more to this egg's untimely demise than I thought. Much more. There are actual Theories. And, the most interesting to me: The great egg orator may have been a mighty cannon (bang, bang), placed too far on the edge of a wall, that toppled over and couldn't be put back together. It seems almost fitting in this day and age...

I'm not sure how I'll work this new angle into a forthcoming script but I'll share it with you when I know more.
