Charles Martel was one of the 7th Century Frankish kings responsible halting Islamic expansion in France.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh. Okay, thanks. Yes, I remember that bit of history, I just didn't remember his particular name. Thanks!

Hey, don't diss history ... history is very important. The more I learn of it, the more I realise how important it is.

Shucks, Thanks! :-D History is exceedingly underrated and important. In many ways, I'm thrilled that I chose it as a career launchpad.

...even if my life as a college graduate is that of a graphic artist and web developer. :-P
