How long would the Hundred Days have lasted if the Napoleonic wars had been fought by midgets?

Two hundred days? I really don't know how fast little people walk at on average.

Until they found a fire hydrant.

What color braid on the 1st hussars (midgits riding Irish Wolfhounds) ?

I thought it WAS fought by midgets.

Well, at least one….

This is a question like: "What is heavier ? A pound of lead or a pound of feathers ?".

The Hundred Days would have lasted exactly hundred days, whether fought by midgets, canines or even statues…

Point of order:

The "Hundred Days" was not exactly 100 days.

This is a question like: "What is heavier ? A pound of lead or a pound of feathers ?".

The question is normally phrased:
"This is a question like: "What is heavier ? A pound of gold or a pound of feathers ?".

the answer to which is "A pound of feathers is heavier"

because they are weighed using two different systems – Troy weight for precious metals and avoirdupois weight for common items.

Point of order:

The "Hundred Days" was not exactly 100 days.

Nor was the 100 Years War 100 years long, nor are the Canary Islands named after birds, nor are many other things commonly thought to be true actually true.

For the canines involved, it would have been the 700 hundred days as 1 human day is seven dog days or something…

When Wellington said "Stand up guards" they wouldn't have been able to see over the corn. It might have taken quite some time.

I would have thought 100 divided by 7 = 14.2857 days.

Porthos said it was exactly 100 days. I was proving how smart I was….

When was the war of 1812?

spontoon23 Jun 2012 5:23 p.m. PST

Since the war of 1812 took two and half years, may I suggest we re-name it the War of Southern Aggression?

Who cares? There weren't any midgets in it!
