Noble Friends,

On this date in 1374 the first outbreak of "St. John's Dance", as sort 
of medieval rave, broke out in Aachen, Germany. The malady is also known 
as "dancing mania" or "St. Vitus' Dance", and it popped up a number of 
times during the middle ages: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dancing_mania

Curious, most curious.

Yours Aye,


Lord Mungo Napier, That Crazy Scot
