in an american school, there is a new student, sukiro Suzuki. He is presented to the class by the director. The teacher starts the class:
who said "give me freedom or death". Silence...
Suzuki: "Patrick Henry Philadelphia, 1775".
Teacher: "great. you should be ashamed. suzuki knows more about us history than you all!!"
Someone goes, 'bunch of fuckin japs'
Teacher:"who said that?!!"
Suzuki: 'mccarthur, 1942, okinawa and Lee Lacocca GM Assembly, 1982!'
Someone goes: 'suzuki, you piece of shit!'
Teacher goes really mad
Suzuki: 'Valentino Rossi, Grand Prix Moto, South Africa, 2002!'
someone goes: 'you suck!!'
Teacher gets bright red
Suzuki: 'Bill Clinton to Monica Lewinski, white House 1997!'
Someone goes 'you make me puke!'
Teacher leaves the class
Suzuki: 'GB senior to prime minister Tanaka, official diner in Tokyo 1991'
Then the Director gets back in the class and goes
'Holy crap! never seen such a mess?'
Suzuki: "Jacques chirac to prime minister jean pierre Raffarin presenting the official report about social security, 2004'

Funnily enough, I'm reading a history of the French and British navies and their constant warfare with each other, and Louis XIV figures promiently. Still, he got off easy compared to Louis XVI, eh?

He had the longest reign in French History (whether you count the regency or not).
Louis XVI was an error. With a different king maybe things would have gone more smoothly.
Marrying an Austrian wasn't really bright either.
Neither of them ended up too well.

Damn Austrians! ;-) Shouldn't have called an Estates General, either. Gave the perfect opportunity to Robespierre and the rest of that gang. Yuck. Ah, well...you can't build a democracy unless you break a few eggs, to mix a couple of metaphors together :-))

I'm up to the Bonaparte years, and his attempt to invade England via Scotland, from the sea, and in support of his Stuart lackey (the Jacobites). He had political officers on all the naval ships, and if the captains failed in their task, well......they met Dr. Guillotine's little invention ;-)

Well Robespierre and the 'rest of the gang' didn't finish so well either...looks like the brave Dr's invention was working full time in those years :-)

All's well that ends well, as Messr. Shakespeare would say :-)

Actually, not many people know that during that same time, the French army pioneered the first use of military airpower when they launched observers up in a hot air balloon at the battle of Fleurus against the Austrians, to keep track of the Austrian army's movements on the battlefield.

Vive le France!

So along with this invention, were the Austrians pioneers in ground to air weapons? It would be a sad day to get shot out of the air while in a hot air balloon.

I understand the Belarussans are quite good at using this tactic. You never know, someone may spy on you in the late 20th century from a hot air balloon.
