MTD, Sr.

And? That has nothing to do with what I wrote. Are you sure you read it correctly?

What is the most useful piece of equipment in the French Army?




A rearview mirror, so they can see the war.

Let's not forget - if it weren't for the French, we'd likely be saluting the Union Jack, although that debt has since been repaid several times.

Well, heck, as long as we're thanking people: if it weren't for the Spartans, we'd all be speaking Farsi!

And without the French, it's unlikely that the blow job would have achieved such sweeping popularity here in America.

Oh, I think it would have caught on regardless.

The BJ preceded the French. There are explicit scenes in the brothels of Pompei. The Romans most likely introduced the practice when they had their turn of conquering France.

Ummmm... might want to read up on your history on this one. Spartans were defeated by the Persians, 480BC at Thermopylae.

And while you're at Google, type in "French military victories" and click the "I'm feeling lucky" button

You do realize that the Persians lost the Second Greek / Persian War and were driven out of Europe, correct?

Tuss,

A Pyrrhic victory, at best.

And you might like to look up the details. 300 Spartans held up a Persian army of 10s of thousands at the "hot gates" for a few days while the Greeks massed to do battle. A weakened Persian force could not conquer Greece on that visit, and they were soundly defeated 10 years later when they returned.

Had it not been for the Spartans, who fought to the last man, the Persians would have rolled over Greece, Italy, and west.

Probably wouldn't have had any trouble in Gaul, either.
