Not All Fairy Tales End With A Kiss

 Army_of_the_Dead "The Dead are following," said Legolas. "I see shapes of Men and of horses, and pale banners like shreds of cloud, and spears like winter-thickets on a misty night. The Dead are following."       "Yes, the Dead ride behind. They have been summoned," said Elladan.           - The Return of the King, "The Passing of the Grey Company"   also known as the Dead Men of Dunharrow or Oathbreakers, were Men of the White Mountains, cursed to remain in Middle-earth by Isildur after they abandoned their oath to aid him in the War of the Last Alliance. They haunted the caverns beneath the Dwimorberg, and the valley of Harrowdale that lay in its shadow, though they were said to appear in the valley only in times of trouble or death. They were led by the King of the Dead. Since the line of Isildur was thought to have ended, no one could call upon the Dead Army to aid them in their hours of need, as they would only answer to an Heir of Isildur.

 Bonnacon - Wild bull-like creature with horns is a mythical, bull-like beast with the mane of a horse and horns that spiral inward on top of its head. The bonnacon's curved horns are not effective for defending itself against hunters, so instead it shoots a stream of potent dung that can burn anything in its path. The bonnacon is a strange beast believed to have existed in the ancient world. The first attestation to the existence of the bizarre creature is traced to the Roman natural historian, Pliny the Elder. Belief in its existence continued well into the Middle Ages and it was a prominent figure in many medieval bestiaries – perhaps due to the crude and unusual way it defended itself.  Its basically just a early ancestor of the hippo. Most likely not actually mythical just poorly understood and illustrated. Also would have made ideal food for large armies because it would not run and its territory would be easy to find aka they mark everything with poo. The bonnacon is a stran

 Armadillo's_Song The Armadillo yearns to sing like the frogs and the crickets and the birds. But is he willing to pay the price to learn? (Bolivia)   Once there was an armadillo who lived in the Bolivian rainforest. He loved music more than anything in the world and all he wanted to do was to be able to sing like many of the other animals could.   He sat by the pond and listened to the frogs calling to each other.   ‘Oh, I wish I could sing as low as you can. Can you teach me to sing, please?’ he asked them.   But the frogs just laughed at him and said, ‘Don’t be silly – armadillos can’t sing!’   He sat under the trees and listened to the crickets chirruping to each other.   ‘I wish I could sing as high you do,’ he said to them. ‘Can you please teach me?’   But the crickets laughed at him as well and said, ‘Don’t be silly – armadillos can’t sing!’   So the poor armadillo left the pond and walked slowly back to the edge of town.   Now the music that the armadillo loved the best was

 The_Arkansas_Traveler was the state song of Arkansas from 1949 to 1963; it has been the state historical song since 1987. The music was composed in the 19th century by Colonel Sanford C. 'Sandy' Faulkner (1806–1874); the current official lyrics were written by a committee in 1947 in preparation for its naming as the state song.    The song is traditionally known to have had several versions of lyrics, which are much older than the copyrighted song. The official lyrics as the state historical song of Arkansas are copyrighted and can be found on the website of the Arkansas Secretary of State   "The Arkansas Traveler" was frequently featured in animated cartoons in the 1930s and 1940s, most prolifically by Carl Stalling in music he composed for the Merrie Melodies and Looney Tunes series.

 Antmen Four weapon bearing arms, red eyes and a crushing jaw   Source: Homer’s Iliad   Habitat: Greece         These mythical creatures were similar to army ants that were human size. They could carry and use four weapons at a time and use their large red eyes to see from all directions at once.   They could easily crush a human soldier’s skull with their huge, powerful jaws.   Just as ants, they were extremely organized and had no fear of death. Given the order, they would rush and eagerly enter any battle.   Also, just as real ants, they never took any prisoners.   The story goes that after a devastating plague killed off the entire population of the island of Aegina, the governing king begged his father (Zeus) to repopulate his Kingdom with its ants.   This created an army of fierce and eager warriors that took direction from and remained loyal to this king.   The king’s son, Peleus, took a group of these human-sized insects to the Greek city of Thessaly. The son of Peleus, Achille

 Ouija_board also known as a spirit board or talking board, is a flat board marked with the letters of the alphabet, the numbers 0–9, the words "yes", "no", occasionally "hello" and "goodbye", along with various symbols and graphics. It uses a planchette (small heart-shaped piece of wood or plastic) as a movable indicator to spell out messages during a séance. Participants place their fingers on the planchette, and it is moved about the board to spell out words. "Ouija" is a trademark of Hasbro, but is often used generically to refer to any talking board.    Paranormal and supernatural beliefs associated with Ouija have been criticized by the scientific community and are characterized as pseudoscience. The action of the board can be most easily explained by unconscious movements of those controlling the pointer, a psychophysiological phenomenon known as the ideomotor effect. however its almost always just a group of people trying to tri
