The Black Death

The black death was one of the deadliest pandemics in human history, it occured in Europe between 1348 and 1350. It is often thought to have been an outbreak of wats known as the bubonic plague. It was thought to have started in China, it travelled along the Silk Road and had reached the Crimea by 1346. From there, most likely carried by insects and on the rats that were often on merchant ships, it spread throughout the Mediterranean and Europe.The Black Death is estimated to have killed 30% – 60% of Europe's population, reducing the world's population from what was around 450 million to between 350 and 375 million in 1400.. It took 150 years for Europe's population to recover. The plague returned at various times, killing more people, until it left Europe in the 19th century. The most common symptom of the disease was buboes in the groin, the neck and armpits, which would ooz pus and bleed when breached. This was followed by  fever and the throwing up blood and respiritory problems. Most victims died within two to seven days after infection.The modern bubonic plague has a mortality rate of thirty to seventy-five percent and symptoms including fever of 38–41C (101–105 f), headaches, painful aching joints, nausea and vomiting. If untreated, of those that contract the bubonic plague, 80% die within eight days

3 reasons to turn down a marriage proposal.

1. The spouse doesn't have a lot of money. You cant run a marriage if your the only one bringing in all the income. If your wife is only making minimum wage or doesn't have a even job the last thing you should be doing unless your Charlie Sheen and shes insanely attractive and you wanna get back at your ex is marry her. If she has little or no money your already paying for a wedding and a honeymoon (that's if your lucky enough that her parents even like you) like you gotta think about these things.

2. She already has like 3 or 4 kids and her body is ravaged from child birth. Not only will it be likely that she wont want more kids but you will probably be dealing with her dickhead ex husband whom you would jump at the chance of throwing out of a plane. Oh and shes probably overweight or obese from the kids, in which case you should ask yourself why your even with this women? if your dealing with any of these circumstances just run, okay get outta there run like the wind run like that goofy dude played by tom hanks in that movie just leave, reject her, cheat, whatever it takes trust me.

3. She just ain't giving it up. Bro if your lady isn't givin it up before marriage then don't do it this means she just wants to get freaky for kids in which case shes gonna be pregnant after u did it like twice then shes gonna be overweight after and possibly wanting another, so you get it on again for the first time in 9 month and what happens? Oh big shocker shes pregnant again! Now your not getting any for another 9 months and shes just gained more weight from her weird cravings and whacked out hormone nonsense. Now you have 2 screaming children and a fatty KFC eating wife and you've been laid only like 3 times in almost 2 years of marriage like how sad is that? now, this is common in Catholic or Christian women, who have tendencies for waiting for marriage to get it on in which case your stuck with kids almost immediately, actually you know what don't wait for a stupid proposal just peace right out of that relationship as soon as you figure out that shes religious don't even waste your time just get out you'll be glad you did.
