…. Napoleon's power?. "IN WRITING, I seek answers. Curiosity is my muse. But now, after a decade of researching and writing a trilogy of novels based on the life of Josephine Bonaparte, I begin to understand that I may never know the answers to some questions. The first of Josephine's mysteries concerned destiny. When a girl on Martinique, Josephine was told that she would become queen of France, "more than a queen." As the unmarriageable daughter of impoverished nobility, she was an unlikely candidate. However, the prediction came true.
There are many who accept that there is a destiny and that destiny can, by mysterious means, be foretold. But it is difficult to believe that there might have been a masterplan in which a girl on the island of Martinique is tagged to become empress of the French…."

They always are, you know. One of Scott Bowden's books mentioned that the belief was vigorously held among the Horse Grenadiers, and I would not haves cared to argue the case with them. |

What I want to know is what exactly were these "zig-zags" that Josephine did in bed. Also, what was it with Napoleon and brunettes called "Marie"? He was as persistent as Captain Kirk with alien women. |

Yebbut nobody knows what they were. What were they? Inquiring minds want to know. FWIW my guess is that it was a WOT arrangement and she wiggled around in a zig-zag or letter Z pattern while Napoleon made Corsican noises of pleasure. |

Remember also que Napoleón has an actual lover (Young and handsome Hussard) under his command… So… Josephine never loose her time or had her bed cold… (smile) Zig Zags Works… and Works well…. (smile)

You have to admire a woman who refused to be held back by having black teeth. |

It's not like you can see their color in the dark, anyway. |

The answer was given by the Spice Girls in 1996: I'll tell you what I want, what I really, really want
So tell me what you want, what you really, really want
I wanna, (ha) I wanna, (ha) I wanna, (ha) I wanna, (ha)
I wanna really, really, really wanna zigazig ah |

Josephine was considered to be a good luck charm by the Grande Armee. And it should be noted that Napoleon's fortunes did change after the divorce. |

That's because the b1tch cleaned him out and took the kids. If ever anyone needed a pre-nup it was Napoleon. "In the event of a divorce, I get Austria and Prussia…" |
