I have no idea, but I keep thinking of silver bells and cockle shells and pretty maids all in a row whenever I read that. :D

I can't say I have ever thought about cockle shells. Ever. I am not even sure I know what one is... hm.... interesting! :D :D :D

[~Julie~]

ahhhhh ok... but do they gave special things to do over there or just design LO's

I'm really not sure I should be answering this right now. I'm mad, and 'special things' has so many different connotations. :)

I thought they were just seashells, and I googled for a picture and found this:
The silver bells and cockle shells referred to in the Nursery Rhyme were colloquialisms for instruments of torture. The 'silver bells' were thumbscrews which crushed of the thumb between two hard surfaces by the tightening a screw. The 'cockleshells' were believed to be instruments of torture which were attached to the genitals!

YIKES!
Er, here's a pic of a cockle shell of the seashell variety:

ROFL!

I am glad you answered already cause I was a little a-feared of what I might find out!
