agreed Washington wasn't the best, but he had more brains than Napoleon.

p.s. Saying that Deadliest Warrior is biased to America is saying that the Spetnaz lost to the Green Beret.(they didn't and I was pissed off.)

Zeno's talking about B&W1 (She mentioned it yesterday). I was just joking about always being evil.

B&W1? Weak sauce.

(The Spetnaz did win, actually, but I maintain that there's a pro-American bias.) True, but who was the better tactician ultimately includes ideals. Napoleon was aggressive in his fight to be emperor, Washington didn't want that for himself and couldn't afford it. Were they to meet in an actual battle, I think Washington would probably lose simply because Napoleon wouldn't accept a rout.

Hence the aggressiveness. He would have been more likely to overextend himself, but it wasn't a common historic occurrence. (Also, for the record, the SWAT, SEALs, and CIA all won their battles, so the Spetsnaz victory seems to be an isolated case.)

On a slightly related note, episode 32 is Vampires vs. Zombies. Seriously Spike, what the hell?

The fellow in the hospital bed next to mine told me that God is everywhere and anywhere. I told him that that makes God a disgusting. . . thing, because God would therefor be located in the deepest pit of my bowels.

The fellow stopped talking to me after that.

How much would you need to bride someone to let you beat the shit out of that guy? Out of curiosity, more than anything. Also, what is he in for? (And you, for that matter.)

Curiosity, I wasn't trying to suggest beating anyone. I'm curious as to how bribeable the people are. Never know when that info could be handy, y'know?

Well, that sucks. How serious is it?

I'd probably have to spot the security guard on this floor a couple hundred lei (or 50 euros, which would be worth more), if I wanted to beat the guy. I'd need to spot him at least a thousand lei or so if I wanted him dead.

Serious, but not life threatening.

Ah. Thanks for the info, and do try not to frighten the poor man too much more.

Well, that's at least partially good to hear. If I believed in things like prayer you'd have mine, for lack of anyone better to give them to if nothing else. I do sincerely hope you'll get better quickly, though.
