On this day in 1934, french (and french only) scientist Marie Curie (thats the full name, very french, pronounced frenchily) passed away (in France, where else).

  2. As her last act as a proud french woman, she did the most french thing imaginable – she went on strike. From life. Due to radiation poisoning.

    But nevertheless a truly patriotic act to her one and only home country.

  3. Wrong, She was Bri’ish

    Just like her sister, Vindaloo Currie

  5. And the charity bearing her name is still revered in the U.K. It supports French people struggling to come to terms with the fact they are indeed, French.

  6. Scientist or not, being French is a choice of the will. Only the strongest human beings can claim frenchness. Passion tampered in cigarette smokes, our eyes don’t wet, our throats don’t cough. The power to resist any reform, no matter how rational. The frenchman is born in a maze. *Walls?* I didn’t see no WALLS!! The wall, but he’s also not there… As if atoms could stop a frenchman…

  7. Do we really have to take away the *one* W the Polish have?

  8. As french as Napoleone, sure. Sorry Napoleon, autocorrect.

  9. I’ve been to her burial, near it there are those Armenian resistance fighters

  10. When Europe was inovating without those pesky safety regulations

  11. That’s why an element discovered at her institute was named Francium. She had nothing to do with naming any elements after any other country.

    A patriotic solely French icon, just like Chopin.

  12. She won a nobel for inventing radioactivity. She used to sleep with Polonium (randomly generated name). If that ain’t peak french performance

  14. Nice try. Everyone and their mother knows Mari Kuri was Norwegian

  16. I don’t know what you’re trying to imply, shes as French as Napoleon himself

  17. Maria Skłodowska? Who’s that? *snobbish french sneer*

  18. Der DEUTSCHE Astronom und Sternenforscher Nikolaus Kopernicus

  19. SHE WAS POLISH, THIS IS CULTURAL GENOCIDE I WONT STAND FOR!!!

    🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱

  22. Didnt an element get named after her? frenchonium?

  24. I can already hear a million men shouting Kurwa somewhere in the distance and typing angrily on the keyboard.

    She lost her mind due to radiation and chose to be French. What a sad way to go…. dying French

  26. Time to play some French music. Chopin seems appropriate.
