You have to admire the British sense of humor.

"Admiral Cockburn now ordered all the contents of the building to be emptied into the streets and standing on a printing press, he announced he would destroy all the "C"s in the press so that "the rascals can have no further means of abusing my name.""

Really, could you imagine not only being the only soldier to ever burn down Washington DC, but also to have come up with something so dastardly clever and biting? That's a hole-in-one right there.
