In the back of our heads, we're all thinking about this. Even the agnostics in my office have take note.

Not sure the source of Mike Brown's Middle Ages info but here's an opportunity to post your own impressions.

It was the time of the great bubonic plague, and just before both Asia and Europe were hit with it, there were strange, historic rumblings in Asia.

With the possibility of the avian flu, and the resultant dislocations from the recent events.. Well maybe a chastisement is coming.

I have posted on another thread about the virtual disappearce of birds from my area (Maryland/Chesapeake Bay). Birds of all types are just...gone. The silence and lack of bird song is noticeable and unusual. The usual riotous squirrel population has also gone missing.
