French auctioneer Jean-Pierre Osenat presents a gold-encrusted sword Napoleon wore into battle in Italy in June 1800, in this May 25, 2007 file photo taken in Paris. The last of Napoleon's swords in private hands, it has an estimated value of euro1.2 million to euro1.5 million (USD1.6 million to USD2 million). The Osenat auction house, managing the sale, said it may sell for two to three times that amount. It will be auctioned off Sunday, June 10, 2007 across the street from one of Napoleon's imperial castles in Fontainebleau, south of Paris. (AP Photo/Remy de la Mauviniere, file)

Well this is just great.

Now, when I hear the words "Napoleon" and "Marengo", I think more of French efforts to sterilize food and how that tied in with nuclear weapons and their delivery systems rather than Napoleon's military exploits.

Damn you and your "Connections" James Burke!
