Not to mention the very first reason in existence for war was sex.

Lol at the French army knife :D But comparing anything to a swiss army knife will get you pwned.

Most of the scientists working on the Manhattan project were German though.

[citation needed]

There were some captured Nazi scientists. Wernher von Braun and the likes.

But that's by no means "most"

Von Braun worked on rocket propulsion, which didn't become relevant for nukes until some years later.  No involvement with the Manhattan Project.  The statement that most the MP scientists were German is a bit ambiguous -- could mean anything from "slightly over half of them were 1/16 ethnic German" to "they were all born and raised in Germany."

Also, I've never really understood France-bashing either.  And the Maginot Line was pretty goddamn dwarven.

In that it was monumentally huge, completely pointless, and didn't work, right?

If they wanted dwarven, they should've tunneled out all the land under France except an invincible support pillar.

Surely you mean almost invincible, so that the only method of destroying it is pulling the nearby lever.

I'd put a trading depot under France and surrender to the elves by dropping all of France on them.

Well, yes, that and also the underground fortress thing.  Unfortunately Germans have better pathfinding than goblins.

Lol. I'm tempted to sig that. You know what's dwarven? The Eiffel Tower! It's a massive, pointless thing made entirely of steel.

I would bet money Andrew has edited things retroactively, except I can't prove anything because it was edited retroactively.

Once I was eating ice cream at a restaurant.  Somehow a ring of ice cream around the edge of the bowl got refrozen after melting a bit.  I was having trouble with it, and my brother noticed this.

He said sarcastically:  "attack it with the full strength of your ancestors!"
To which I replied:  "What strength?  Our ancestors were French."

The French bashing has always seemed more like a friendly-joke-type-thing to me than anything else.

Alternately: The Brick Testament. It's a really fun look at what the bible would look like if interpreted literally. With Legos.

Frenchmen have cooking,
Germans gave beer,
Italians have wine,
The Polish have sausages,
The Swiss have army knives,
Belgians have chocolate,
Portugal has it's navigators,

What does Spain have?

Not only is it not actually advertising anything, it's just copy/pasting word salads about gold, runescape, oil, yuan, and handbags.  It's like a transporter accident combined all the spambots into one shambling mass of online sales.
