Oh dear ........ where did this guy get his facts from ....... royal family burned down london NOT lol ....... it started from a spark from a bakers oven in pudding lane. Also it is Atishoo, Atishoo, referring to the flu like symptoms, not ashes, ashes ......... the bodies were generally buried in mass graves called plague pits, not burned ......... but hey, why let facts get in the way of a good story lol.

Im Dr Callahans son & I posted this vid

The observation that the fire started on Pudding Lane has already been noted

There are several Plague Pits the first was in London 1665. But it wasnt long before Britain (along with Europe & Asia) began cremating bodies. Partly out of fear of the disease & partly out of the fear that the decd would come back as the walking dead

There are 6 different versions of Ring Around the Rosie its the English version that replaces Ashes with A-tishoo

Stop having so many children is the best solution, the population will decrease over time and no one suffers.

This is an excellent presentation. Some of it I knew and some I didn't know. I've been told that I died during the Black Death, but that was so long ago that I'm sure I've forgotten most of it, so this helps.

This is the generally accepted theory of how the Black Death spread through Europe but there is one major flaw: black rats which host the fleas that distribute the bacteria were not common in most European countries at the time. Furthermore, the outbreak spread much faster than what is today known to be the typical spreading pattern of the Yersinia pestis bacillus. So there seems to have been at least another agent at work causing this disaster.

fireants kill fleas and rats, so I support their arrival from South America. If the Europeans had had fireants, then the fireants would have killed the fleas and the rats.

They would know who called. I do not know how the phone I work for would react. The town I live in is based on a buddy system. A few families control everything. You never know who is who.

[jasadin]

Did you call somebody about it?

Yesterday I was servicing a trouble ticket for a phone company. The end users home was disgusting. Their were six dogs in the home, dog dropping on the floor, flies were every where, and the home smelled like a dead rotting animal. The worst part was their was a baby in the house covered in flies.
