o.O what's that supposed to mean?

Me, El, and Cloud all fear a woman's wrath...

We obviously fear your wrath...

Therefore, you are a woman...

Besides, you're my superior Nyx. Even Napoleon was short, but he sure knew how to kick ass and take names....Heck, he almost created an Empire in the United States.

Napoleon was not short. In truth, he was 5 ft. 6 inches, which was tall for that day and age.

People think he was short because back then the French used a different system of measurement. In French height he was 5 ft 2 inches. That was the French way.

An imperial inch is 2.54 cm. A French inch was 2.71 cm.

Also, he seemed short compared to his honour guard because his honour guard consisted of elite soldiers that where all over 6 ft tall.

In conclusion, Napoleon was 5 ft 6 inches tall, which was very tall back in the 1800's.

Really, I never would have thought

Indeed.

In fact, 5 ft 6 inches is still average height in this day and age.

I really don't see why so many people think that he was short.

Maybe because they base it on his pictures or paintings and stuff. If the soldiers around him were tall then that may have given the people the impression he was short. Just an opinion..

Hmmm... Seems logical.

It could also be his nickname: le petit caporal.

Mant non French peole think that petit means small. In tryth, it is a term of affection. You see, Napoleon was a well loved leader.

This makes me want to go back to reading Dumas.

*glomps Nyx* I guess they'll be sorry when the Fangirl Army goes for world domination. XD

*points to Cloud*

You heard the lady. Get to it!

Yeah, It's been pages since we talked about world domination again.

Kinda missed Biki, she's the one who always seems to want to talk about world domination.

This tread has been up for some time now. It’s quite cool because it's almost like the 'Friends talk' tread. I still vote for iPods though, but then again fan girls are ok.

My do people find Fan girls annoying? Just wondering.

The world.

Um...where do we start, though?
