Uhm.. French? The French were getting their botties kicked by the Normans just like the rest of us. The Normans were Norsemen, not Frenchmen.

(And I don't think France will like you selling that.)

it's probably stolen anyway

we've half a mind to steal it ourselves, maybe even return it, maybe even for a ransom.

or that idea might just get filed in the same place as that scheme to steal the cathedral of Notre Dame. now that i think about it, the other half of the above mind is to forbid the creation of official proposals by anyone with a BAC above .1 - notre dame is one of the more boring proposals.
