<i>Private Baldrick: No, the thing is: The way I see it, these days there's a war on, right? and, ages ago, there wasn't a war on, right? So, there must have been a moment when there not being a war on went away, right? and there being a war on came along. So, what I want to know is: How did we get from the one case of affairs to the other case of affairs?<p>Captain Blackadder: Do you mean "How did the war start?"<p>Lieutenant George: The war started because of the vile Hun and his villainous empire- building.<p>Captain Blackadder: George, the British Empire at present covers a quarter of the globe, while the German Empire consists of a small sausage factory in Tanganiki. I hardly think that we can be entirely absolved of blame on the imperialistic front.<p>Lieutenant George: Oh, no, sir, absolutely not.<p>Private Baldrick: I heard that it started when a bloke called Archie Duke shot an ostrich 'cause he was hungry.<p>Captain Blackadder: I think you mean it started when the Archduke of Austro-Hungary got shot.</i><p><a href="http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=641_1285524199" rel="nofollow">http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=641_1285524199</a>
