Title: Asterix

Has anybody here read the comic Asterix? You know, the one about the two gaulish dudes who beat up romans. I just wanted to point something out to people who read it.

I know of it, but I've only read a few of them and that was eons ago. I've been to Parc Asterix though, which is the Asterix theme park in France. They have a really great wooden roller coaster called Tonnerre de Zeus (Zeus' Thunder). A truly excellent coaster. :)

They've got a theme park for it? Too bad I've never visited Fance or Europe in general. I didn't know Aterix was that popular!

Yes, it's a whole theme park based solely around Asterix. Asterix is staggeringly popular in France where it's as popular (or maybe even more popular) than Mickey Mouse.

A few photos from my trip that might be of interest to you:

This is the entrance to the Zeus' Thunder roller coaster:

If you happen to glance up while walking between his legs, you find that Zeus prefers underwear with red polka-dots. The French are amusing. :)
