PUMPERNICKEL (continued)
There's a nice "Snopes" discussion of "pumpernickel." Cecil Adams ("The Straight Dope") also addressed it last December. Google for "pumpernickel" and "Napoleon" and "horse."
The usual story involves Napoleon invading Russia, but that was in 1812. This comes from 1806-1807.
Not that the etymology is now true, just that it goes back a-ways.
