Reminds me of today's BOFH

Its not just me who thought of that then :D:p

I was doing some electrical work in one of the IT offices of a place thats in the early stages of rolling out new software for their embedded PCs, and having the usual teething troubles. One of them said something to his supervisor along the lines of "I've had $location restart it, that seems to have cured it now that the solar flares have settled down (laughs)"

I ended up commenting "Solar flares! , ...now thats straight from the excuse calender!"

Then there's the really big one - The Death in the late 1340s. Half the population of England dead within less than 2 years. I must have had some ancestors who survived that.

I guess that depends if you subscribe to the one drop rule, but yes, there's a good chance you are from black death stock.
