Bonjour, I live in Nantes in western France. I've been around since October 2005. I mainly use this account to enlace interwikis, that's why I seldom come here, so if you wish to leave a message, you can reach me here for a better chance to get a fast answer. Cheers.

My interests

Many and varied, but primarily centered around :

Family story

[edit]

I held some genealogical research and found that a branch of my family emigrated to California in the late 19th century. Some of their descendants still live there and they told me a funny family story that I wish to share here.

Jean Pierre, a first generation immigrant, died in 1925 at the age 34. He died of trichinosis, which is an unusual cause of death. He owned a bar in San Francisco and he had a reputation of drinking more liquor than he ever sold. The story is that Jean Pierre acquired a pig and decided to roast it in the yard at the rear of his bar, he called some of the family members over to come and eat the pig with him but when they arrived they refused and told him it was not cooked through and that it would require several more hours of roasting before it would be safe to eat, he became angry told them to leave and that they knew nothing of how to cook a pig and proceeded to eat it and share it with some of his friends, they all became ill but Jean Pierre died. The moral of that story according to my american family is "don't roast a pig when you are too drunk to know that it's still raw".
