Brigitte vrs Marilyn

Today's Topic: comparing the nation's sex symbols. Who wins between the U.S.'s Marilyn Monroe and France's Brigitte Bardot? I gotta go with Marilyn. She married Joe Dimaggio and is involved in a Kennedy assassination conspiracy theory. With all due respect to Brigitte Bardot's undeniable former hotness, she is probably most famous nowadays for her support of far-right political candidate Jean-Marie LePen. The U.S. pulls even with France, 14-14.

Photo of the Day: the Algerian War Memorial, not far from the Eiffel Tower along the banks of the Seine. It consists simply of three vertical columns with a continuously strolling text in red, white, and blue which lists the veterans who lost their lives in the conflict, which in some ways could be considered their own version of Viet Nam.
French for the Day: Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) in French is "Les armes de destruction massive" (ADM). The French love their acronyms possibly even more than we do.

Marilyn had 6 toes on one of her feet. She had it surgically removed when she went into the movies. If you look at some of her early photos you might catch a peek at her extra pinky toe.
