This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

Anon is often crazy.
Anon is often depressed.
Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

They're referring to the bubonic plague (aka the Black Death) which didn't arrive in Europe until the 14th century. And yes, we would habe heard of it before then because it was highly contagious.

Please see the post I offered in response that shows research indicating Yersina Pestis was killing humans in Europe and Asia well before the mass plagues.
