I remember when I first heard that rhyme. I was a kid and there was a piece of soap shaped like a bear that grew hair as you used it. Of course it was just a marketing ploy based on the rhyme - the soap shank as you used it and the embedded hairs seamed to grow.
Fuzzy Wazzy was a bear,
Fuzzy Wazzy had no hair,
Fuzzy Wassy wasn't Fuzzy,
Wassy.
At least that was how I remember it.
I found out who the Fuzzy Wazzy's were years ago - think, charge of the light brigade and yes, you can find references to the soap online.
If you have nothing else to do, go ahead and look it up.

As a student we were playing a game called Fuzzy duck with some Englishmen. It was utterly silly.

I actually spelled it wrong. "Fuzzy Wuzzy".
It is like "ring around the rosy". The origin of such rhymes is nothing that little kids would understand or should even know before they are old enough to understand the situation at the time.
What bothers me is that most adults do not know where such rhythms come from. They are just as ignorant as the kid I use to be.

It was just the fist thing that popped out of my head. If anyone is actually interested; all they have to do is lookup "Fuzzy Wuzzy".

Is anyone else having this issue?
I am registered for the MS Build conference, and yesterday received the links to see the sessions, speakers, etc. However going to any of the links, the page loads without any content (just a header and footer).
Anyone else seeing this? I have tried chatting with the MS Build people on this, but no progress.
Would be nice to see what is happening for these sessions ahead of time. Would be even worse if I cannot even see the sessions when they start streaming...
UPDATE: tried running it under Fiddler, no errors showing, but lots of traffic for a bit.

Tried Firefox? Or a different browser?

For a period, Firefox was the safest bet to read all sorts of web pages, and it became my favorite. However, the last few years it has seriously deteriorated, and nowadays my list of sites that FF cannot handle is growing rapidly. It is still my standard browser, but I have to accept that when some other page includes e.g. Twitter refernces, if I want to see those, I have to start another browser.
I had an issue with a web mail client: The server timed out, repeatedly, over a period of more than two weeks, on three different machines, from two geographically distinct sites, using three different web browsers (FF, IE11, Edge). The support lady had a single proposal: Maybe you should switch to Chrome ... No! Edge's spying on me is bad enough, I refuse to be pressured in under Google Control just because one web server repeatedly reports timeout. The support lady gave no impression of true professional understanding; arguing about real culprit would be futile. And I abstained from explaining why I do not consider Chrome a viable spy alternative.

I have observed it too, I think it started when the problematic with https and the incorporation of TLS. Since then, the load of the pages is getting worse and worse.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

No, in fact I just re-imaged my machine completely. So at this time only have Edge browser (running Chromium though).
I would be really disappointed if Microsoft was not supporting their own browser for this...

Reimagining computers is fun and you learn a lot. But you will need at least need a breadboard, a multimeter and an oscilloscope to do that, not a browser.

The bug probably made them take social distancing and isolation to a new level.
