/ Actually haven't seen that one in a while... There's a different one that hangs around now.

 

Don't forget lads it's WRESTLEMANIA on Sunday night !!

 

Hot sweaty men in leotards rubbing their bodies over each other. Can't wait.

 

ah you now have the 1.2 version with the full virus patch stealing the cats food

 

Rookie mistake...

Put a YouTube video about dinosaurs and my phone and gave it to the three year old to shut him up. All good but for one thing... WiFi was switched off!

My monthly allowance as only just been renewed so got 26 days with no data now

 

OUCH

 

Been to my barbers said to him give me a cut like ma boi Emre after his heroics today so looking boss now

 

your hair was long enough to have that amount of muck lobbed in it and ****?

 

i could chew my hair man ... until about 4 hours ago when the clippers wen on it

 

WiFi only it is...

 

Which hair?

 

They used to wear a long pointed mask when examining plague victims, making them look like ducks

 

Bills

 

the point or beak was for putting aromatics herbs and spices in as they believed in those days that plague was spread through the air, what they called 'night air', they fought these could stop it, they also had a cane to touch patients with so they didn't have to use their hands or get too close

 

Yes. "Bad Smells" made you sick.

There is logic to that though... It wasn't all silly superstition.

Bad smelling food (rotten) would get you sick.
Bad smelling water (fouled water) would also get you sick.

Also, sick people often have a particular odour. If you hang around sick people you get sick.

It was therefore logical for them based upon their observations to assume bad smells made you sick and therefore good smells May heal you.

 

When I was a kid I answered our front door and a bloke was there who said " Is your Dad in I have a bill for him" I went to my Dad and said" Dad, there is a man at the door with a bill"

My Dad said " Are you sure it's not a duck wearing a hat"

 

true, plus i think plague does actually spread through air, but also other routes as well, whereas they thought it was just air

 

wasn't the plague spread through fleas that had it going onto the next host through rats/other humans?

 

yup.

plague was transmitted through blood. flea bites apparently.

The myth is the temperature rose such that the fleas could not digest and went about hopping madly. they would never normally leave juicy rats but jumped and transmitted it.

thats the myth of course.
