I have always noticed how much awful stuff happens around my birthday and someone else pointed it out in the Vtech thread. The week surrounding April 18th, or basically like April 15th-22nd or so has seemed to have very many tragic events throughout history.

Just to name a few:
OBV the Virginia Tech psycho this week.
Columbine
OKC Bombing
Waco Massacre
Hitler was born
1906 SF Earthquake
Titanic sank

Also, two of my now-wife's living grandparents died (one on my birthday the other the day before) after we started dating, but that's not very relevant.

Are there any other 7 day periods in history that have as much evil in them, or is this as bad as it gets?

well lets see, there are 52 weeks in the year and about a million horrible things that have happened throughout history. Statistically the fact you only came up with 7 means this week is actually the least evil week in the year!!
