It started in the mid-1300s and swept through Asia, Africa, and Europe.
5、 Historians believe almost 50 million people died of the disease, including many of those buried at Bedlam. “Sixteen sixty-five saw the very last recorded period of the disease,” says Jay Carver, the leading expert on the project.

Across the garage stands Carnegie Mellons bright red robot, CHIMP, “It has arms and hands but it moves around on these tracks,” said Tony Stentz, team leader of team Tartan Rescue. “CHIMP can go from upright to allfours in just a few seconds. Weighing in at 440 pounds, CHIMP see
