Since we (you mostly) are talking about Corse, I gotta mention one kick ass movie !

L'enquête Corse

Watch it if you haven't !

I know, she isn't full-blooded, but I'm sure Corsica doesn't mind taking some credit for her :-)

Does anyone else seem to be hearing the word "maquis" everywhere now? I've heard people say it at least a dozen times this week.

I prefer to think that she is referring to the rebellion in Star Trek
(DS9 and Voyager - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maquis_%28Star_Trek%29).

It's basically the same thing as the French rebellion, just with bigger guns (and no real deaths)

OMG, I thought I was the only one to think of it like this.

No, no you weren't.

yeah, actually the Star Trek thing was what tipped me off and made it post-worthy

also I think I've heard it from parents, professors, some movie, my brother, video games, the radio, and an artilcle I researched for school all in the past month or two

Wow! That all was quite helpful. For anyone interested in more about Corse, here's an interesting article I happened upon:
