Full transcript of Napoleon's Bunny Defeat
The man who conquered Europe was once forced into a humiliating retreat. Not by a coalition of rival empires... ...but by a massive horde of fluffy bunnies. It's eighteen-o-seven, and Napoleon Bonaparte is celebrating a victory. His chief of staff organizes a grand rabbit hunt for the officers. Three thousand rabbits are gathered in a massive field. But the chief made a critical, hilarious mistake. To save time, he didn't trap wild hares. He bought thousands of tame, domesticated farm rabbits. When the cages opened, the rabbits didn't scatter away. They saw Napoleon standing there, and assumed he brought lettuce. Thousands of hungry bunnies charged the Emperor. They swarmed his legs, climbing his velvet jacket. Napoleon frantically struck them with his riding crop. But the fluffy battalion was too strong. He retreated to his carriage, tossing bunnies out the windows. Proving that even the greatest conquerors can be defeated by their lunch.
