and get your head cut off the only thing about Napoleon as famous as his hight (or lack there of) was his temper

If I was one of his soldiers, I would've had a great time with that. "The Russians are just over the hill." "*Snicker.* How did you SEE them?"

That's like a midget trying to get on a rollercoaster, hard on the eyes.

No napoleon actually was a fair horse man though he did need a boost to get in to the saddle.

Now the only thing missing would be an exceptionally robust woman on the passenger side, sporting a Chanel purse.

quote: Hence his need to overcompensate. It's too bad that hadn't invented 'sports cars' yet. History would've gone a lot differently.
Even if the sports car were a coupe he still couldn't see over the steering wheel, let alone reach the pedals...Now that I think about it, how did he mount a horse?

That's why he's number 100 on my list, and too because he was 4 foot or 5...what the hell!...

Well it goes in this order, I believe: Ghengis Khan Alexander the Great. (Pretty good my ass!) Napolean Hitler.

I'd give Olympias her own thread, but she's not that well known. I think I'll make an Alexander the Great thread. She was a big part of his life.

I was going for an overall thing...land conquered, legacy left, etc. As for Olympias, well, that's another thread all together. Perhaps for a future Alexander the Great thread.

I still don't get Olympias and yes Ghengis and His Horde had long and impressive rule but didn't contribute much society wise but really I have a question. What we are discussing is the greatest conquerors as in who using military force conquered the most we are getting in to what I think of as ruling like length of reign and such.
