to be fair, no one really bathed in the middle ages. granted, they have been short on strategic leadership through most of history - but they did have that short guy with his hand in his jacket, and they were an imperial power for a long time, and we do sort of owe our independance to their military support.

i mean, George Washington had his *** handed to him by Canadians for pitty's sake, you think we could have gotten the British to leave without the help of the French? Its not like we beat them, either. We just got them to leave.

The French really are not all that confusing, you are just only paying attention to the events and aspects of their culture that you wish to know about.

Of course, I am a bit confused as to why they went to all that effort perfecting a loaf of bread that goes stale in about five minutes after leaving the oven. Day old bread in the rest of the world isnt a leathal weapon.
