      I question the historical accuracy of that painting and assert the horse was painted white for romantical purposes, while in fact, he was riding a black horse.

          He was a short. That was his problem. Short person's syndrome. He was like a dwarf. You know how dwarves are, don't you? All they're good for is tossing.

                French was a definite stumbling block.

                    Corsican? I had a friend that drove one of those in high school. Wait a minute, hold on. That was a Corsair.

                        There isn't anything romantic about riding the white horse.

                                I think corsicans are more like the genoese or sardinians than like the french, maybe not now, but 200 years ago for sure.

                                I wonder if people in the 1880´s 1890´s argued about Napoleon as much as modern people argue about ww2
