HF 609 - So the poor old ostrich died for nothing!
Trådtittelen er hentet fra en episode av Blackadder, der Baldrick gir sin versjon av de geopolitiske årsakene bak starten av Første verdenskrig:
- The war started because of the vile Hun and his villainous empire-building!
- George, the British Empire at present covers a quarter of the globe, while the German Empire consists of a small sausage factory in Tanganyika. I hardly think we can be entirely absolved from blame on the imperialistic front.
- Oh... Oh no, sir! Absolutely not! (quietly to Baldrick):Mad as a bicycle!
- I heard that it started when a bloke called Archie Duke shot an ostrich 'cause he was hungry.
- I think you mean it started when the Archduke of Austro-Hungary got shot.
- Nah, there was definitely an ostrich involved, sir.
- Well, possibly. But the real reason for the whole thing was that it was too much effort not to have a war.
- By Gum, this is interesting! I always loved history. The Battle of Hastings, Henry VIII and his six knives and all that!
- You see, Baldrick, in order to prevent a war in Europe, two super blocs developed: us, the French and the Russians on one side; and the Germans and Austro-Hungary on the other. The idea was to have two vast, opposing armies, each acting as the other's deterrent. That way, there could never be a war.
- Except, well, this is sort of a war, isn't it?
- That's right. There was one tiny flaw in the plan.
- Oh, what was that?
- It was bollocks.
- So the poor old ostrich died for nothing!
- The war started because of the vile Hun and his villainous empire-building!
- George, the British Empire at present covers a quarter of the globe, while the German Empire consists of a small sausage factory in Tanganyika. I hardly think we can be entirely absolved from blame on the imperialistic front.
- Oh... Oh no, sir! Absolutely not! (quietly to Baldrick):Mad as a bicycle!
- I heard that it started when a bloke called Archie Duke shot an ostrich 'cause he was hungry.
- I think you mean it started when the Archduke of Austro-Hungary got shot.
- Nah, there was definitely an ostrich involved, sir.
- Well, possibly. But the real reason for the whole thing was that it was too much effort not to have a war.
- By Gum, this is interesting! I always loved history. The Battle of Hastings, Henry VIII and his six knives and all that!
- You see, Baldrick, in order to prevent a war in Europe, two super blocs developed: us, the French and the Russians on one side; and the Germans and Austro-Hungary on the other. The idea was to have two vast, opposing armies, each acting as the other's deterrent. That way, there could never be a war.
- Except, well, this is sort of a war, isn't it?
- That's right. There was one tiny flaw in the plan.
- Oh, what was that?
- It was bollocks.
- So the poor old ostrich died for nothing!
