I'm bored, it's late, and I'm crap at using the meta model, but the idea of this has been amusing me all day and I just know it's going to drive you all mad...

...which seems like a really good reason for doing it to me!

So, Jellys and Mentalmen, in the wake of the triumphant "Cryptique" thread (may it rest in peace) I humbly present...

Moronic Meta Model Madness!

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
Which wall specifically? How high was it?
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
How great was that specifically? Great compared to what? Great in what way?
All the King's horses and all the King's men
How many horses specifically was that? Which King in particular? How many men was that?
Couldn't put Humpty together again
Which methods did they try? How did they know they couldn't? Had they done it before? Together in what way...?

Get the idea?

Now you know the drill... Bring it on!

:cool:
