刚刚升级完毕,一切都乱糟糟的:)
看到讨论战争的成败,想起了这个著名的Google炸弹,2003年就有了,刚才试了一下,居然还在,莫非是google故意的?先前的"Weapons of mass destruction"已经被移除了,不知道为什么这个"法国军事胜利"还留在这里。看到这个页面很简单,在google搜索里输入French Military Victories,然后点击 "I'm feeling Lucky",就转到这个页面来了,虽然这个页面模仿得非常象google的页面,但事实上这个页面并不是google做的,而是http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/,页面的最下面有版权声明:-)这个网页的背景应该是法国反对美国出兵伊拉克,于是美国人做了这个页面戏谑法国人。
网上还留传着一则英文笑话,也是嘲笑法国的军事历史的,摘录如下:
Gallic Wars: Lost. In a war whose ending foreshadows the next 2000 years of French history, France is conquered by of all things, an Italian.
Hundred Years War: Mostly lost, saved at last by a female schizophrenic who inadvertently creates The First Rule of French Warfare - "France's armies are victorious only when not led by a Frenchmen."
Italian Wars: Lost. France becomes the first and only country ever to lose two wars when fighting Italians.
Wars of Religion: France goes 0-5-4 against the Huguenots.
Thirty Years' War: France is technically not a participant, but manages to get invaded anyway. Claims a tie on the basis that eventually the other participants started ignoring her.
War of Devolution: Tied; Frenchmen take to wearing red flowerpots as chapeaux.
The Dutch War: Tied.
War of the Augsburg League/King William's War/French and Indian War: Lost, but claimed as a tie. Deluded Frogophiles the world over label the period as the height of French Military Power.
War of the Spanish Succession: Lost. The War also gave the French their first taste of a Marlborough, which they have loved ever since.
American Revolution: In a move that will become quite familiar to future Americans, France claims a win even though the English colonists saw far more action. This is later known as "de Gaulle Syndrome", and leads to the Second Rule of French Warfare: "France only wins when America does most of the fighting".
French Revolution: Won, primarily due to the fact that the opponent was also French.
The Napoleonic Wars: Lost. Temporary victories (remember the First Rule!) due to leadership of a Corsican, who ended up being no match for a British footwear designer.
The Franco-Prussian War: Lost. Germany first plays the role of drunk Frat boy to France's ugly girl home alone on a Saturday night.
WWI: Tied and on the way to losing, France is saved by the United States. Thousands of French women find out what it's like not only to sleep with a winner, but one who doesn't call her "Fraulein." Sadly, widespread use of condoms by American forces forestalls any improvement in the French bloodline.
WWII: Lost. Conquered French liberated by the United States and Britain just as they finish learning the Horst Wessel Song.
War in Indochina: Lost. French forces plead sickness, take to bed with Dien Bien Flu.
Algerian Rebellion: Lost. Loss marks the first defeat of a Western army by a Non-Turkic Muslim force since the Crusades, and produces the First Rule of Muslim Warfare -"We can always beat the French." This rule is identical to the First Rules of the Italians, Russians, Germans, English, Dutch, Spanish, Vietnamese, and Eskimos.
War on Terrorism: France, keeping in mind its recent history, surrenders to Germans and Muslims just to be safe.
这则笑话的最后一段倒是道出来了这则笑话的真实目的:)

footwear
Hi-top athletic shoes are generally not considered boots, even though they do cover the ankle, primarily due to the absence of a distinct heel.
Insightful Comments on French Warfare
Hi,
That's a very interesting take on the so called
"de Gaulle syndrome". Seems like some things never
change. Just look at the current war and, once
again, history repeats itself! If I were in the
French women's shoes, they should have tried to
hook up with those American soldiers during WW II.
As you say, it might have improved the bloodline!
Seems like fashion and shoes is all they might lay
claim to fame to these days.
Thanks for Your Insights
George
