The Black Death may not have been spread by rats after all
- fargle 4y agoI have always harbored a secret suspicion that it was caused by and transmitted principally by lawyers and MBAs. Possibly engineered intentionally. In the dark ages, I'm not sure what you called them (clergy?) but I know they were there in some form. They have always been there. And if anyone was going to be a bloodsucking tick-infested disease-spreading reservoir of bubonic nastiness it's definitely lawyers. Maybe also civic "leaders".
