“Napoleon was once attacked by a horde of bunnies. In 1807, Napoleon signed the Treaty of Tilsit, ending the war between France and Russia and he decided to celebrate with a rabbit hunt. He told his Chief of Staff, a guy named Alexandre Berthier, to make it happen. So Berthier set up a big hunt with a bunch of military officers and captured something like 3,000 rabbits for the occasion.”
But when the rabbits were released, they didn’t scurry off into the woods. Every single rabbit bounded right at Napoleon. 3,000 rabbits started bolting right for the most powerful man in the world.”
