Since John from Hull - raised you folk to international status - I've been trying to recall HULL'S CLAIM TO FAME....it struck today.
You are folk... with the syphilis research!
Charlotte Roberts, of the University of Durham in England, has been exhuming the syphilis-ravaged skeletons at Hull. The skeletons found in the Hull friary indicate that venereal syphilis really was rampant at Hull. Those skeletons have turned the nice, tidy picture of the "New World" origins into a bloody mess.
There are a multitude of songs about the sick, drip, drip, drip of the syphalictic dick....
Perhaps, we should connect them into this Hull thread.
Sincerely,
Gargoyle
