You know how they fire off weapons to honor people? Surely Alizée is worthy of an honor of this caliber! Not everybody knows that before he was a "general" (i.e. executive) officer, Napoleon was an <i>artillery</i> officer. He may have been called <i>Le Petit Caporal</i>, but all the same we think he had use of an enormous gun. Now, in discharging his weapon nearly two centuries before our favorite singer was born, he can be said to have jumped the gun. They are hardly proud of this in Corsica, where it is known as <i>premature Ajacciation</i>.
