[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.

How can you find a sword mid-battle in the dirt? Black and white dirt nonetheless!

the books are called Three Musketeers… it is about four musketeers :(

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

Show threadPringlesMar 20
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”.
Show threadSusagaMar 20
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.

Gotta wait like 30 years to get that revenge for like no reason at the end

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.

Same here, it’s really six samurai, the 7th is…complicated.

Lol why does Théoden look like Big Ed in a blonde wig?

Turns out they needed six. One of them wasn’t actually a samurai.

The original title was Six Samurai, The Son Of A Farmer, And About 150 Of The Most Pathetic Human Beings Ever Conceived

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