This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Next you'll tell me that there really was a Count of Monte Cristo and completely blow my mind.

When there's someone that you want, when there's someone that you need, let’s make it all… All for one, and all for love.

I've always found it humorous that in all of the movies I've seen, you never once see a musketeer use a musket. Just saying, it's odd.

They were originally equiped with musket as guards, but muskets are slow loading and cumbersome so, other than guard duty, they relied on swords and pistols.
