random fact, today is the 479th anniversary of Fransisco Pizzaro's conquering of the Incan empire.
Oooh. Them crazy Incan's got taken by them crazy Spaniards.
yep. one of the greatest empires the world had ever seen got conquered by 50 guys and a smallpox epidemic. Damn you smallpox!
I guess that's the "germs" third of the equation, huh?
