Damn William the Conqueror, thinks hes so big.
3 billion. After all teh Bayeux Tapestry is the first (and only) record of a French victory (I've also seen the real thing, its freaking tight.)

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.
