I subscribe to a great little magazine from the Languedoc, Blablablah. Here's some interesting "French Firsts" from that column:
-- You know how bullets (and other stuff) ricochet? Well that's Monsieur Marc-Antoine Ricochet (1779 - 1846), "famous for his ability to hit a target by reboudning the shot from a nearby surface."
