h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Right, found what I was looking for and no wonder I couldn't find it, I disremembered the band's name.

And now I miss MR more than ever, because that song triggered a whole series of associations.

And I *did look for an h2g2 entry on it, but in lack of that:

'The Black Death is estimated to have killed 30–60 percent of Europe's population and reduced the world population from an estimated 450 million to between 350 and 375 million in the 14th century.'

If it hadn't been for that plague, I doubt we'd been even half as well off as we are today in Europe. To be crude, less hungry mouths to feed. Weeded out by mother Nature.

And yes, I'm currently contemplating on why I chose 'dis' instead of 'mis'

I'm sorry, I'm just in a silly mood right now, and this T-shirt motive made me laugh:

Morning all.

Ooh, I gave Mike A the Black Death tour tee back in 2001; the first time he wore it to school his history teacher stopped him in the hall to admire it.

And Mike went on to take his degree in history...

Well. There has been a cat video film festival here in the US, and one of the top contenders is just transcendentally funny.

Another week, another round of travelling.
Although today I was actually in my office in Nodnol for the first time in about 3 weeks.
Now on my way to Manchester for 2 days, then Swindon.
I guess that means Port street tomorrow and then the Gluepot later in the week.
Oh the hardship!!!

*laughs until she cries at Lil's cat video*

That cat has rhythm! And the other cat just sauntering up like 'what's up dude?'

The psychobitch next door yelling all day long makes me twitch like that...the woman is in serious need of anger management. Or serious ...

Well into the fifth book of Songs of Fire and Ice, I've come across the word 'the Triarchs', which I assume means something like 'three that rule as one' as opposed to a monarch, who rules by hirself.

But what if there's two? What's the word for that? Duarchs, Doarchs, Biarchs?

Civil War?

The rule of William III and Mary II is often called the co-regency, with their being co-regents, if that helps.
