This is the most ridiculous event in the history of humankind.

When aliens come, they will judge us for this.

Absolutely amazing.

Damn you, García Marquez, you ripoff artist!

My brother lent me a book called “The Dancing Plague”, which describes this outbreak. Really fascinating stuff.

I think what I love most, though, is the way that is seeped into Germanic culture in really weird ways.

In the Brothers Grimm’s version of Snow-White at the end the evil stepmother is forced to put on red-hot iron shoes and dance herself to death (sidenote: both gruesome and AWESOME. What a great punishment). Where’s the inspiration for that? Yep, the dancing plague.
