    A funny ad for our Polish friends

    <object width="430" height="372"><param name="movie" value="http://www.streemo.pl/Video/2670" /><param name="salign" value="lt"/><embed src="http://www.streemo.pl/Video/2670" width="430" height="372" salign="lt" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"/></object>
    </font>
    <p align=right>
    <font class="content">
    <a href="modules.php?name=News&amp;file=article&amp;sid=62"</b></a> </font><br><br></p>
    </td></tr></table>

    Allow me to explain....


    In July of 1410 the King of the Poland brought his forces to fight the Teutonic Knights at the Battle of Grunwald (also known as Tannenberg Forest in some sources).

    The Teutonic Knights sent an envoy to the Polish King and presented him with two swords. This was a sort of a joke, showing that the King will need two swords to fight. In the ad you see this presentation of the swords.

    The Polish King asks his translator what they're saying and the advisor replies : "The great master presents you with a gift..."
    The King says "thank you, thank you, but what is he a master of?"
    The advisor says: "of war, I think"
    The King: "Oh Yeah?"

    At the table the captured Teuton looks at the cards of the King and says in bad Polish "But King beats (or is beaten by) Queen" and the Polish King replies "maybe where's you're from!"

    The text says: "Things will happen!" (perhaps incorrectly translated) and is a commercial for beer if you haven't figured it out.

    Battle of Grunwald was one of the most important battkes of Polish history. The two swords became King Jagiello's symbol. There's even a statue of him in Central Park on his horse with two swords.

    Anyway, enjoy.

    BTW. Why it is snow and winter in July? I find it as a joke (it was so long ago - maybe in ice age ).

    Thanks for the correction. My Polish isn't that great but my grandparents spoke it so I can read and write some of it.
