50. The World turned upside-down.
The British troops reportedly sang this song as they surrendered at Yorktown:

If buttercups buzz'd after the bee,
If boats were on land, churches on sea,
If ponies rode men and if grass ate the cows,
And cats should be chased into holes by the mouse,
If the mamas sold their babies
To the gypsies for half a crown;
If summer were spring and the other way round,
Then all the world would be upside down.


Hill bots become Limpbough lovers....
