While we await Max, here is a softball:  who was the only one of Napoleon's brothers never to command troops in battle?

Damn how inadequate he must have felt.  :lol:

The "success" of his brothers made him seem a military genius in comparison!  :lol:

Bingo! :woot:  You win jack shit, because it is Max's turn, but you can throw a softball.

My obscure knowledge of Napoleon would come in handy some day. And the teachers said I'd be a failure. I SHOWED THEM.  :P

I have no softballs ready.  :blush:

I cheated and Googled the answer and am not particularly surprised at it.  Silly Spaniards employed a lot of those buggers.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.
