Oh, I've been there many times.
I've always been impressed by the size of the whole thing, especially considering the small size of the body.

Historical superstition. He wasn't actually that short when compared to the average size of his contemporaries.

He was the same height as Churchill, who nobody thinks of as a short-arse. I seem to remember somewhere that most people think Hitler was short, too, and he was 5'9".

He's having a little Nap.

It's weird to think that Napoleon (5'6"), Churchill (5'7"), Mussolini (5'7"), Hitler (5'9") would be too short to play in the NBA today.

Not if they have a decent outside shot and an ability to direct your offense. Isaiah Thomas is 5'9", was a great scorer and led the NBA in assists...

And since all the aforementioned are white, they'd be likelier to get drafted and be given an opportunity to start.

DeGaulle requested to be buried in his home town. Otherwise he would certainly be there. The only question would have been where in relation to Napoleon.

One of my bucket list items is to visit St. Helena, where Napoleon was exiled for a while and he ended up dead there.
They recently opened up an airport there, so it is no longer a 7 day sea voyage from South Africa.

I read somewhere that it is a dull place and the only reason why tourists visit is that piece of history.

Yes, I agree the history (and isolation) is probably the only main reasons to go there.
I wrote to their tourism department a while back asking for information on visiting, and they sent me a very nice package of material (DVD, thick "book" on sites, etc.). Maybe they dont get too many inquiries. LOL
