Sometimes the world is just too dangerous for the modern man.

That bit about 'nothing important today' is Louis XVI, not George III. To Louis, 'something important' meant hunting

I don't know about that, but the saying is usually attributed to George although he never actually said it. There was a whole X-Files episode about it (sort of).

I like the fact that there's an Estonian in Flight 714.

OK, how many OTHER great works of fiction have an Estonian character?
