I wasn't sure what that was, so I had to look it up. Here is the explanation for those who wanna know (hey, I took history back in High School...it's been a while!) :
On an official State visit to Canada in 1967 to celebrate that country's 100 years of nationhood, President de Gaulle ignited a storm of controversy in the anglophone world when he stood before a crowd of 100,000 Quebecers in Montreal and uttered: Vive le Québec Libre! (i.e. Long live Free Quebec) While this support for Quebec's liberation was a monumental diplomatic blunder and interference into another country's private affairs, it was one that inflamed the passion of some nationalist Quebecers and inspired members the emerging secession movement. Following de Gaulle's remark, the Prime Minister of Canada, Lester B. Pearson, cancelled plans for de Gaulle's visit to the capital of Ottawa, and asked the French President to leave the country. Criticized at home in France for the remarks, his opponents reminded the wartime general of the thousands of Canadian soldiers (see: Vimy Ridge) buried all over France who fought and died for France's freedom in both World Wars. Critics also drew the parallel for interference between Quebec independence and the Franco-German historic contestation of ownership of the German-speaking Alsace and Lorraine regions seized by France after the War.

King Richard III. Way to loose France. Your mother was the rightful heir, and your uncle was the king. They both died, you get crown, but no, you were all like "I live in England, Im drinking some tea."

I thought Columbus was looking for the West Indies, but ran into North America instead. I tell you what, it's all messed up...Vespuci got America named after him, but Columbus got credit for discovering it, even though it had already been discovered before by the ancient Irish and the Vikings.

Marie Antoinette: Little known fact, one of the crimes they got her on was lesbianism and child endangerment(she slept with her female lover with her son in the bed.) Sicko freak....that probably scarred the kid for life...but then so did the guillotine. And she liked the freaky sex stuff...old french cartoons of her and her "hardware" if you catch my drift...and if you don't sorry

And freaking Napolean...he was short, not just kinda short, but teensy...talk about small man syndrome. Buried in 5 successively larger sarcrophaguses(Sarcophagi?) Can't be happy with your victories, gotta go get some more, then lose and get banished. What an a$$.

Napoleon, what was up with that hand that was hidden in his coat. Was it diseased or a fashion statement?

Damn the Royal families. Marrying your cousin is not a good thing.

How about the former Mayor of DC Marion Barry. Who got arrested for smoking crack in a hotel with a prostitute. He went to jail and when he got out he ran for mayor again and won. People in DC are retarded.

Dante, Raphael and Michaelangelo were all fags.


Pope Pius XII was Hitler's puppet.


The Dupont family shoulda stayed in France.


King Edward II could never figure out how to control the Scots.


Czar Nicholos II should of acted more like Ivan the IV.


The Nazi soldiers were rollin all the time, no wonder they lost.


Queen Elizabeth I was a bitch.


George Patton was Hannibal reincarnated.

Adam and Eve!

Eve, why couldn't you resist the temptation? Were you deaf or just stupid? The lord told you all to leave those trees alone! It is because of you, that us women have to go through painful childbirth.

Adam, were you that whipped to let Eve talk you into eating the apple? Boooo hisssssss! And, it is because of you that our world is fallen.

Babe Ruth, what a fricking fat slob. His wive is also a major a-hole for the way she treated Roger Maris during his then record breaking season.

Napoleon. Dude! The delusions of grandeur? The excessive man-whoring? I think someone was compensating for something. A man of 5'2" can't be that well hung.

George Wallace. Damn, do you realize how f*cking stupid you sounded? You're damn lucky the federal government didn't come oust your ass. The people of Alabama should come piss on your grave (too bad that's a misdemeanor).
