The military review started 40 minutes ago so here it goes:

Joyeuse Fête Nationale !  :frog:

PS: Valmy is perfectly entitled to call it Bastille Day (prise de la Bastille).

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Don't be ridiculous. The Guillotine would not even be introduced as a method for execution until three years after 1789. People would usually be hanged from lamp posts by angry mobs until then. You have to wait until August 10th to celebrate the glories of the Guillotine.

Today the French people stood tall in their assertion of their right to bear arms, well to bear powder that would enable them to use said arms anyway, in defense of their liberties against the assembled armies of King Louis. Vive la nation -_-

I missed my kids being able to climb over an Armored Car, but I had to be home this year on the 14th. :(

We had a huge party in our backyard in 1989. Hordes of French exchange students assaulted our makeshift Bastille. Good times.

Saying you were a 'man of 1789' was a great way to get arrested for being counter-revolutionary during the terror.

Yeah, its a shame that the general public associates this date more with the terror which followed than with the promise of the Declaration of the Rights of Man.
