This is the thread for the history books.

From this day to the ending of the world,

But we in it shall be rememberèd—

We few, we happy few, we band of FReepers;

For he to-day that shares his post with me

Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,

This day shall gentle his condition;

And gentlepersons in America now a-bed

Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not posting here,

And hold their soul cheap whiles any speaks

That posted with us upon this historic April day.

Nicely paraphrased!

Wow, even Shakespeare knew about him.

That's the famous Saint Q's Day Speech from Henry V !

There, now my condition is all gentle'd up.

The French at Agincourt were first drawn into a pre-planned killing field by Henry V, with little mobility, where the English peasant longbow archers could destroy them while remaining out of range of the Frenchmen’s weapons.

Hmm.
