Interesting Facts

Silvio Berlusconi and Nicolas Sarkozy are the same height. (At 5'5" (1.65m) they are both shorter than Napoleon, whose height has been recalculated as 5'6" (1.68m) up 4" from the 5'2" we were taught at school. Barack Obama is 6'1" (1.85m) and our current PM David Cameron is 6'0.5" (1.84m). Note the half inch, it makes all the difference you know.)

Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has described himself as the most persecuted person "in the entire history of the world". (According to the BBC, he also said he was "the best prime minister we can find today". Me thinks Mr Berlusconi needs a reality check.)
