Napoleon pwns English if they weren't sissies
Elessar Telrunya:
the english are fortunately located on an island. hooray for them? i don't think there's been a successful invasion of england(while not in transition between kings) since it was brought under control of the roman empire...has there?
anyway, the french are a bit less helpfully located as observed in the past century...lol
serious conversation that once happened between two friends of mine -
Friend1: I'm French, Irish, Polish and a tiny bit [Native American] Indian.
Friend2: Why don't you just stand around with a sign saying "Invade me"

Heh, thats pretty funny Elessar.
And no there has not been a successful invasion of england since abooout...900 or so. That is when a Frank noble came in and took over. But it wasnt really an invasion, was just him going this is mine now and I will take care of you. Which he did very well. Would have to check my western civ 1 notes to tell you who though. lol.

William the Conqueror.
Norman conquest of England in 11th century. Thanks to the Normans, English is the language it is today. Very much based on French.

Which is why a lot of my french vocab is cognates ^_^ although it gets annoying because i'm occassionally tempted to spell things right in the wrong language...ie. professeur and professor :/
anyway, i didn't really count that because the former William the Bastard(no joke) was attempting to claim power in a struggle for the english throne

I purposely coded it with no input validations so that an attack would most likely succeed but was having problems anyway because PHP was adding escape characters to my single quotes. So I disabled that option and cracking it was no problem.

Dont ever say anything like taht again...
Im 50% German/25% Polish/20% Irish/5% Mixed shit
But whenever I say anything about being Polish I almost always hear some kind of generic Polock joke. Heres a common one.
"How many Polocks does it take to screw in a lightbult? 1 To hold it and 200 to turn the house"
