        James Joyce appeared to agree with you. Of course, who can tell what he was saying.

This is the flag of the Prooshious, the Cap and Soracer. This is the bullet that byng the flag of the Prooshious. This is the ffrinch that fire on the Bull that bang the flag of the Prooshious. Saloos the Crossgunn! Up with your pike and fork! Tip. (Bullsfoot! Fine!) This is the triplewon hat of Lipoleum. Tip. Lipoleumhat. This is the Willingdone on his same white harse, the Cokenhape.

            Wellington obviously had immunity to Corsicans.

              But indeed, one of the biggest reasons for Boney's defeat was an irishman named Patrick Harper.

                Interesting theory BeBro, but it's unfortunately wrong. Newer research into Nappy shows that his unhealthy heeding of the advise of Marie-Antoinette, eating cake all the time, gradually made him thick both in body as in mind. He just wasn't up to the task of commanding an army anymore.

                    Napolean lost because he spoke French.

                    Everyone knows that God only speaks English.

                      Yes, they had a sort of rule of thumb that if anyone compared another conqueror to Napoleon, he was assumed to have lost the argument and was thrown out of the salon where it took place.
