Go Canada. LOL. I mentioned the same thing about the White House, and that Canadians are pretty eager to point out that the fledgling US didn't succeed at grabbing any Canadian territory - the idea won't get much traction here because we've been raised since at least WWII to put our fingers in our ears and shout "we're #1" until a problem goes away. At least we did ok in that Battle of New Orleans (sadly after the treaty to end the war was signed). The internet was down.
After googling Napoleon's height, she chose Admiral Nelson to look up for comparison. I think we decided to eat before we got to checking on Wellington.
My W is no slouch about history - she was a political science major, and took a lot of history electives. But, we like to argue enough that we've probably argued both sides of everything at least once.
So, enough history and politics. I'm just glad we managed to keep it to a friendly, though rambling debate, and nobody got upset.
