      Did you know there’s a movie called The Fifth Musketeer? It stars the four classic musketeers, plus a guy who is at no point a musketeer.

        Never heard of it,

        Schools should invest more in maths, those people can barely count

          The French have four-times-twenty-ten-nine problems, but counting ain’t one. That’s why their most read maths book is “The count of Monte Cristo”.

            Au contraire! There is only a single isle of Monte Cristo in that book, and it’s over a thousand pages long, which means it took THAT LONG to count to 1.

      I’ve read the book when I was a kid, but if I remember correctly d’Artagnan was not a musketeer, he was having adventures with three guys who were musketeers and the book is from his perspective, so the title makes sense.

    “We need at least twice that many.”


    They go out to confront the enemy

    Enemy: “Six samurai? We can take them.”

    a seventh samurai appears

    Enemy: “Shit, we didn’t prepare for this.”

      Wasn’t he? In the end wasn’t he a Samurai after all?

    Also the OG film that started the cliche of training the townspeople with pointy sticks and adding pointy stick to the towns perimeter in a remarkably short timespan.

    So they need 7 samurai and a bunch or pointy things.

    [off topic]

    Preparing for the final battle, the least talented samurai comes up with a great trick. He makes a big pile of dirt in the middle of the town and puts all the captured swords in it. That way, if he loses his sword in the fight he’s got a spare close by.
