8. She was so incredibly hot, the Catholic Church burned all lifelike images of her, lest they tempt mortal men into sin, if not outright heresy.
 
2012-01-07 04:36:10 PM
She's still celebrating her birthday?

#8 Was recently brilliantly re-imagined as the coolest female character in a video game of 2011, in the criminally under-appreciated Witcher 2.

Mmmmmmm, tangental Jean Seberg thread.

Really? It's unknown that she was farking nuts? She thought God was talking to her. Of course she was nuts.
 
2012-01-07 04:54:33 PM
Blamed for heresy because God contacted her directly? That would take out half the nopublican presidential field and W would be charcoal today.

2. In modern times, some doctors and scholars have "diagnosed" Joan of Arc with disorders ranging from epilepsy to schizophrenia.

Isn't her being mentally ill the MOST known thing about her?
 
2012-01-07 05:02:07 PM
9. She was not actually the wife of Noah of ark.

10. Her face has also appeared on toast:

From the History Channel show Ancient Aliens:

"Could Joan of Arc really have been given her invincible sword by extraterrestrials who had an interest in the future of France?"
 
2012-01-07 05:54:19 PM
From the History Channel?

I'm guessing she was an alien, then? Or had alien assistance? Or has a buddy who's an expert in restoring France?

Oh my. That is exceptional.

Around the age of 12 or 13, Joan of Arc apparently began hearing voices and experiencing visions, which she interpreted as signs from God

So she could have been a Republican Presidential nominee.

Really?
The flames they followed Joan of Arc.
As she went riding through the dark
No moon to keep her armor bright
No man to get her though this very smoky night

History Channel? She was a Nazi?
 
2012-01-07 07:27:05 PM
Did she ever, you know, experiment with other women?

An alien truck driver, actually. But Charles VII was nicknamed Adolf the Cable Guy.

And now I know how Joan of Arc felt, now I know how Joan of Arc felt
As the flames rose to her roman nose and her walkman started to melt

She was a sister who really cooked.

If you read through any of the Lives of Saints, as I did as a lass sitting in church, wishing for mass to end with commandos to bust into the place and shoot everything, you would realize that at least 90% of the Saints and Martyr's were mentally ill. This argument does not go over well with the rest of the sheep that would be called 'family'.



Joan of Arc is my Patron Saint and she hasn't done shiat for me ever except give me a nick name that use to make me cringe.

Oh, and she was illiterate, so she's got that going for her too.

History Channel, eh?

Does the list go something like...

10. She wasn't talking to go God... it was an alien
9. She was an alien
8. Hitler went back in time and tried to assassinate her... because he was an alien
7. She had sex with aliens
6. She gave birth to Hitler's alien babby
5. The fire they burned her in was ignited by the engines of a UFO
4. She was an ice road trucker
3. She was also a lumberjack
2. and a Samsquench
1. She was Hitlers alien babby but got stuck in a rift in time and had sex with Hitler and became her own mother and started the Mayan race with a wave of her hand which is the REAL truth about how the shroud of Turin and the Devil's Bible were created and France was actually an ocean but they had to cover up the evidence of the lost city of Atlantis which was actually a Venutian outpost so they swiped a piece of planet Niburu, waited until the magnetic poles reversed and plopped her right down when nobody was looking... also... aliens.

8. She wasn't set on fire, she was hit by lightening, and they named these after her.

When I was in Rouen, I was one of those ugly americans that threw down his cigarette and stomped on it.

And I knew I wasn't going to be first making the Hitler/Aliens joke but I believe in producing high quality snark.

Joan of Arc, proof that there is such thing as a smoking hot militant woman.

Epilepsy cannot be blame for any of her symptons. Other than seizures, epilepsy causes queasiness while watching some movies or video games. Doesn't cause crazy. It's like watching Blairwitch Project in the dark. Only hear voices when I hold little pocket device to head.

It was deep into his fiery heart
He took the dust of joan of arc,
And then she clearly understood
If he was fire, oh then she must be wood.
I saw her wince, I saw her cry,
I saw the glory in her eye.
Myself I long for love and light,
But must it come so cruel, and oh so bright?

Considering my most idiot of family members have sent me e-mails praising her today I'm guessing not.
