When reading these, treat the "and" as an "or". It's "overlaid, or starved at nurse". Two different conditions. Vib Rib posted:"Planet"?? Majora's Mask was based on real events.

Vib Rib posted:"Rising of the lights"? 'Lights' is an old word for lungs. It's a lung or throat problem that stopped breathing. 'Planet' is roughly 'gently caress if we know', blaming astrology because was nothing obvious on Earth to cause it. Quite possibly massive stroke or sudden heart attack, something that came out of nowhere.

As far as I can tell he was with the Burnham Institute until 2009 and then moved to central south university in china where he didn't publish anything until 2017. Dude exists he just never updated any of his info on any sites.

It's especially hilarious because in the dark ages when the bubonic plague was sweeping the continent, we were DOING EVERYTHING RIGHT that we knew to do. We were social distancing like crazy, preventing contamination however we could, we just didn't have a good enough handle on what was causing it to fight back. I visited a village recently in England that historically completely shut down because everyone was locking themselves at home and hoping they'd survive, and nearby villages came by to drop off food and supplies for the community because they weren't allowed to leave their homes.

christmas boots posted:Does "King's Evil" refer to anything particular, or does that just literally mean "murdered by the King" because the latter doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Encyclopedia Britannica posted:king’s evil, scrofula (q.v.), or struma, a tuberculous swelling of the lymph glands, once popularly supposed to be curable by the touch of royalty. The custom of touching was first adopted in England by Edward the Confessor and in France by Philip I. In England the practice was attended with great ceremony; and from the time of Henry VII sufferers were presented with especially touched coins to be worn as amulets or charms. The custom reached its zenith during the Restoration: Charles II is said to have touched more than 90,000 victims between 1660 and 1682. The last royal healer in England was Queen Anne, who touched 200 victims in 1712. In France the ceremony persisted for another century and was even briefly revived by Charles X between 1824 and 1830.

That's very misguided, but it's kind of sweet that royals were willing to do something like that given they had no idea if the issue was contagious or not. They thought they could do something to help, so they did even if it was completely useless.

It's scrofula (believed to be healed by a king's touch). Scrofula went into remission basically at random so it's easy to take credit for making better with a ritual.

Yeah, basically what happened was some perisher died of something that caused them hip pain as the primary symptom. Tumor? Infection? Dunno, they didn't bother with autopsies much in 1632. That person might even have just died in their sleep but complained about sciatica the night before so the coroner (or whoever recorded the death for official records, I'm not up on 17th century postmortem procedure) used that as the cause of death because, y'know, correlation means causation, right?

Reminds me of an early covid vaccine study, where two of the participants died. One was hit by a car, but they still had to mention it. That makes sense, I always thought it was the sitting thing, but it being the symptom is more reasonable than One Weird Thing

Good odds it was the clergy if the person was not wealthy. Seems especially likely in this situation given the 'Christened' count just visible at the bottom.

Regrettably, "teeth" is in the same category as "infants" and "chrisomes" in referring to a stage of juvenile development. infant mortality was so high that they didn't list specific reasons, only the ages of the children who died. But the eight people who died of farting you can at least have a little chuckle at.

It's so OBVIOUS now! That’s what’s makes numerology seem so profound to the very stupid. Numbers exist everywhere and in everything. If you have numbers you’re looking for it is trivial to find them wherever you look so long as you can assign a significance to the various things and phenomena that provide the numbers.
