also apparently there are 180,000 bees living in the Notre Dame Cathedral. Why does nobody tell me these things?

Makes me think you could adapt that old Fawlty Towers line here, with a few modifications.

Well, some good came out of this, at least. Still, this is history, and they're gonna be talking about this for years to come - same way we talk about Obama's historic election. You can tell your kids and grandkids about this.
