Hmmm... Ok then, it is Anteros, brother to Eros. I've also heard it referred to as Agape (sp?) which I think is really a wooly translation of the whole 'Christian Charity' malarky.
Actually, in retrospect I think it was Anteros which was flagged up by the book I mentioned rather than The Angel of Christian Charity. My memory must be failing me and I haven't even started by Christmas boozing yet...
Hurray to Google for filling in the yawning chasms in my general knowledge.

This thread appeals both to my love of pointless general knowledge and my immaturely competitive spirit.
Just two of my many unattractive traits smile

PS: Do you mean Napoleon was on the right or wrong end of a defeat?
Hmmm... It has to be either us plucky Brits or the Russians I would have thought?
Unless this is a sneaky one and the answer is something along the lines of 'He was defeated by the ferocity of the Russian winter'?
No? Oh well, I better get back to work...

The thing he was defeated by was a living breathing thing but not who you would think

Damn and bugger. I think it was actually the slaves uprising in Haiti.

Well it couldn't have been an army of dodos cos they were well extinct by Napoleon's time. I'm going with an armada of melon-seed spitting blue whales.
Am I right. cool

rabbits! :bounce:

Well done!
In 1807 Napoleon was in a good mood so he decided that the imperial court should indulge in an afternoon of rabbit shooting. Napoleons chief-of-staff brought thousands of rabbits to the location in order to impess him. The rabbits were released but the idiot chief of staff had brought tame rabbits rather than wild ones, as a result the rabbits assumed they were going to be fed rather than shot, they spotted a tiny man in a black hat (napoleon) that looked just like the man who fed them so in thier thousands they ran straight at him, obviously a thousand rabbits swarming at you wouldve been scary so napoleon ran all the way to his coach and retreated. The emperor sped off in defeat and the rabbits lived to see another day.
