Napoleon wasn't that short after all, but we offer this short song for those of you who asked.

    This video doesn't talk about how Napoleon came back from being exiled; however, was exiled again.

    Actually, that's the part that says "and though forced to abdicate...took control again for 100 days"...the second exile is implied in the map of St. Helena

    How about making a song about Gustavus Adolphus II, the lion from the North, father of modern warfare? That would be king!

    he didn't shun her because she couldn't have an an heir. she had affairs during his Egyptian campaign... she wasn't even interested in him until he lost interest.

    Their relationship was complex by all means- they both had affairs. But ultimately he needed a new wife so he could have an heir (or so he thought). And, it's good to remember that her name was part of his last words...

    Also, in French feet he was 5' 1", whilst French feet were longer than English feet, so the English kept the records as 5' 1" instead of the correct 5' 9" in English feet.

    Ok, hopefully I'm not reposting. Verne Troyer is an actor who is like 0.81m tall. One of if not the shortest actors. You can find lots of videos of him here on YouTube.

    Oh the point is that Verne Troyer is an actor who is a midget. While he's not the smallest human, I'm pretty sure he's the smallest actor at 0.81m tall (giving you meters, since you are French) The show was a comedy and so they went all out with the "Napoleon was short" joke.
