Hi all, I'm popping in for a moment.

Here's two interesting things:

The Dark Ages - were not Dark

Also, getting mixed origins of the term "Dark Ages" - one being a poet who write about the time since Rome with the belief that since Rome, life sucked. (I, on the other hand, would resent being called Roman)

Another would be that the Puritans used the term to describe the time before their "wisdom/enlightenment" - these were the same people who effectively crash-landed in the wrong place (Pilgrims at Plymouth), and played a large role in the Salem Witch Trials.
