The time between 1348 and 1350 A.D. one of the worst periods of death in history claiming nearly 100 million lives. Many believe it to have been due to Yersinia Pestis. Some refer it to the black death but few know the real reason why it was called this.
The black death was actually the name of the worlds first metal band. They preformed in secret in graveyards at dusk to attempt to stay under the radar. Like most radical ideas at the time, metal was considered evil by the church and those who practiced it were hunted down and killed.
Eventually as the numbers of the followers of metal dwindled something drastic was to be done. It was decided that the most brutal concert to that point was to be held. In 1348 the black death played in Florence, in public, for the first time ever. The concert was so brutal that death and destruction spread over the entirety of Europe. It was covered up by the catholic church as they did not want anything having more power and influence over the population.

Flu Shots
Every year there is a new flu shot released. But how do they know what strain of the flu is going to be around? Here is what really happens.
Every year the government creates a new strain of the flu and makes a vaccine for it. They then release that new flu strain to the public through one of their greatest assets, the public water supply.
Now once most of the population has been infected they begin manufacturing the vaccine and stockpile it. Finally when flu season rolls around the media spreads panic about the flu and emphasizes the need for flu shots. The government then only realeses a small portion of the shots at a time so that there is a massive shortage. Now the government makes money on every flu shot administered and suddenly everyone wants one. With over 140 million flu shots made for last years flu season and ever shot costing upwards of 10$.... yes that's right 1.4 billion dollars!
