Tomorrow is the day that the French celebrate their revolution and the overthrow of their monarchy. Fittingly, the event they choose to celebrate is a jail break, the storming of the Bastille. (as opposed to the US which celebrates their revolution with the writing of the Declaration of Independence) When the Bastille was stormed, it held only seven prisoners: "Four were forgers, one was a deranged Irishman who believed himself to be God and Julius Caesar. There was another insane prisoner, and the Comte de Solages whose own family and had arranged for his imprisonment on account of incest."
Fitting.
