Just what does "ere" mean in that palindrome? --67.172.99.160 19:28, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
- Ere (sometimes written as e're) is an archaic word meaning previous to or before. So in simple terms that palindrome says that Napoleon was a capable guy until he was exiled to Elba. :-) --NormanEinstein 20:20, August 20, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] bizarrenage?
French troops landed on the island on 17 June 1944. and? were they trying to rescue napoleon and turned up a little late? I am assuming this is something to do with WWII... if so could someone in the know indicate that in the article? WookMuff 06:35, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] NAME THAT ISLE
WAS ELBA ELBA BEFORE NAPOLEON ARRIVED? WHAT I MEAN IS I THOUGHT I READ MANY YEARS AGO THAT NAPOLEON NAMED HIS "PRISON" FOR A RELATIVE. OR AM I THINKING OF AL CATRAZ AND HIS TWO COUSINS, AL DENTE AND AL FRESCO? PLEASE ADVISE. FRED ROBSON
[edit] Death of Napoleaon
The article contradicts the Napoleon I of France article on concerning the emperor's death: Elba article states "There poison was gradually slipped into his food, and eventually he died due to appendicitis." Main article says that is controversial and other causes of death are suggested.
Also: why is the cause of his death even discussed in an article about Elba which is thousands of miles away from where the Napoleon spent the last years of his life and died. MichaelSH 03:13, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Sounds like Hell On Earth.....
It says the "The avarage temperature is 50 degrees C". I've been in 45 degree C heat in centre of Australia and that was hot. I imagine an average of 50 would really be push the beer fridge to it's limits. I'll track down a correct figure ! Ttiotsw 06:32, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
