    In French fencing schools, the lessons are in French. In the Russian school of fencing, by contrast, the language used is Russian.

    If it's in Winter, the Russians win. This also goes for Germans vs. Russians.

    Oddly enough, the Russian track record when invading France is nearly as bad.

    Sure you don't mean the French track record when invading Russia?
    Why sabre? Because you don't take heads with the point.

    Who wins then, the black bears?

    Sergei Golubitskiy's analysis was really interesting.

    I do hope that the Fench are not any relation to the Felch...
