1. Go to Google.com.
2. In quotes type "French Military Victories".
3. Click the I'm Feeling Lucky button.


It seems someone has forgotten Napoleon.

Though that is rather amusing.

That is completely hilarious.  

The mere fact that France exists means it has had victories, by definition, but it's still hilarious.

One-stop-shop for all your evil genius needs.
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

But Napoleon wasn't French. He was Corsican.

(Read the rest of the site. It's pretty funny.)

Well, it's still not working for me. Can't figure out why. I typed that phrase in with quotation marks and everything. *sigh*

This is what the page should look like. I marked what should be obvious for you.

Ah ha. Well, I got that now, but sad to say I haven't found that "lucky" button link. However, I did find that delightfully accurate list of French defeats on that blacksheep site. Funny.

If you don't see the "I'm Feeling Lucky" button, then you must not be on the main page for Google. If you just search in the Google toolbar, then it will actually give you normal results. You have to go to Google.com, put in the phrase, and click on the "I'm Feeling Lucky" button, which is right next to the "Google Search" button.

Note that the page that comes up is not *on* Google.

also, it matters little that Napolean was Corsican. He led a French Army and was the leader of the government of France. That makes his victories the victories of France.

In case you have some serious time to waste, you can watch all of these. (I have to go to work. ah!)

I LOVE the interface on this, with the rotating photos.
