Quoted from goldstategop: "Whither France? No one wants to learn French because no one can recall one recent contribution France has made to the world's advancement."

"no one can recall one recent contribution France has made to the world's advancement."
Why, it's not even 500 years since they contributed mightily: in 1530 Girolamo Fracastoro wrote his "Syphilis sive Morbus Gallicus" and ever since the French Disease is preserved in the annals.

I had a dream, once. My wife woke me up...

"Hey, jackass, you are talking in your sleep."

"What did I say?" (Shudder)

"I don't know, you were talking in french! What were you dreaming about?"

"J'ne c'est pas. I don't speak french."

Come on! The French did remarkable work in several fields of mathematics.

The only modern-day Frenchmen worth a tinkers damn are Sabine Herod, Jean Reno and the chick who played Nikita.
