For the record, modern historians don't use the term "Dark Ages".
If we ever recover from this, future historians will.
Oh, cool. It's the first dark age.
And likely the last one.
That's a bit too dark for me
Oh, act your age
Yes, the first, and also known by future historians as the "Darkest Age," for some reason. I should've asked.
Couldn't think of a better label this morning for how I felt. What would you suggest?
The Orange Age
Futurama calls the current era the Stupid Ages.
As for the period between the fall of the western Roman empire and the renaissance, it's often referred to as the Middle Ages.
I am not talking about present day. I couldn't possibly know what this era will be called in a millenia. I'm just spreading the info that "Dark Ages" isn't the preferred term for the early middle ages.
