That topic was going back down into the archives, 27th level. So I decided to put it back up.<br>
This is a true story. It happened during the french revolution. An aristocrat was about to have his head cut off. At the foot of the stairs leading to the guillotine, he tripped and fell.<br>
He turned towards the executioner who had picked him up and told him pensively: "Mmm.. An Ancient Roman would have considered this to be a bad omen".<br>
