A P.S. on the Napoleon's hair thing - there are several locks of his hair surviving from various stages of his life - these were tested because of the arsenic poisoning theory - arsenic had been found when testing the hair taken after death, but it was also found on the earlier locks, so it's presumed his regular hair pomade had arsenic in it (nice!).
