VenusAndMars Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I seem to remember reading some time ago where a French king (Louis XVI?) once received news from a scientist in the kings employ who had come up with some kind of great superweapon (nerve-gas?) 'to end all wars'. A very sinister concoction anyway.Whereupon the king guaranteed the scientist a lifetime salary on the understanding that he (the scientist) would destroy his plans and never divulge them to anybody.Does this sound familiar to anyone? Is it basically true? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
