[Jark212]

USA:
Nikola Tesla
Albert Einstein (Ours when he ditched Germany)
Benjamin Franklin

Werner von Braun Runner up

Cream of the crop in the US of A...

Edit: We Americans have a habit of stealing other Scientists...

so youre most proud of immigrants.

Most Americans are descended from immigrants myself included, diversity is what makes us strong.

Oh, you got to be kidding me. People raised in other countries and educated by other countries' educational system are definitely not a "Cream of the crop in the US of A".

Russia:

Chekhov
Mendeleev
Tchaikovsky

Tchaikovsky isn't Russian... It pisses me off when people say that.

 

[Michailov]

USA:
Nikola Tesla
Albert Einstein (Ours when he ditched Germany)
Benjamin Franklin

Werner von Braun Runner up

I think I'll take Sweden:

Alfred Nobel
Cornelis Vreeswijk
Eva Dahlgren

There are so many that should be up here, Sweden is like a utopia of intellectuals and cultural people Not perfect! But close...

Close but no cigar.

Alfred Nobel
Anders Celsius
Carl von Linné

[Pegghead]

1-Paul Hogan

2-Hugh Jackman

3-Sam Worthington

All Australian, all awesome. And unfortunately there are more than three members of AC/DC so someone would've felt left out.

I know some people who would disagree...

 

[enzilewulf]

USA:
Nikola Tesla
Albert Einstein (Ours when he ditched Germany)
Benjamin Franklin

Stephen Hawking Runner up

Cream of the crop in the US of A...

I do sincerely hope you were being ironic.

Though Benjamin Franklin is a good 'un

Mine?

UK:

1.Thomas Paine
2.Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington
3.Stephen Hawkings

A cookie for why anyone can tell me Thomas Paine is the greatest ever Englishman WITHOUT using the internet

Didn't he write two books one pre revolutionary and then one during the revolutionary? The first one made alot of people turn from Loyalist to Patriots while the other was a moral boost during the war.

EDIT and i was too late.

 

[Eliam_Dar]

Argentina:

Diego Maradona
Carlos Gardel
Dr. Favaloro

 

[Lexodus]

USA:
Nikola Tesla
Albert Einstein (Ours when he ditched Germany)
Benjamin Franklin

Werner von Braun Runner up

Cream of the crop in the US of A...

Edit: We Americans have a habit of stealing other Scientists...

I was going to say that. None of those are actually American; Einstein was German, Tesla was Croat, von Braun was also German, Ben Franklin was English.

 

[Jark212]

USA:
Nikola Tesla
Albert Einstein

...they aren't American....
Um i couldn't tell you really. Maybe....I don't know of 3 single people who have changed history that much from one area.

They Where US citizens, therefore Americans...

 

[Lexodus]

Diego Maradona
Carlos Gardel
Dr. Favaloro

Maradona: the most famous cheating bastard ever (in football; otherwise, Edison).

Scotland:

Gerard Butler
SUSAN FREAKIN' BOYLE
big gordo brown

2-Hugh Jackman

3-Sam Worthington

Strangely enough, Angus and Malcolm are Scottish, Bon was too, Brian is English, and so is Cliff. Phil is the only one originally from Australia.

 

[oppp7]

Australia: Atkinson. Erwin. some actors.
Fail Australia, fail.

...Yahtzee?
OT: Japan: Shigero Myomoto, Hideo Kojima, and Emporer... guy from WW2...

 

[Uber Evil]

USA:
1: Chuck Norris
2: There can be no #2 since Chuck Norris roundhouse kicks competition into space
3: No one tried to be #3 after seeing what happened to #2

Runner up: Chuck Norris, no one can beat chuck norris, not even chuck norris


sorry had to do it.

No. No you didn't.

 

[TheSentinel]

Ireland:

1. Oscar Wilde
2. Michael Collins
3. Arthur Guiness

Runner Up: Some dude I don't know off the top of my head and am too lazy to use Google.

 

[TheCrayonKeeper]

China
1. Sun Tzu - philosopher wrote The Art of War
2. Cai Lun - regarded as the inventor of modern styles of paper
3. Chow Yun-Fat

Lets face it - you could have just put a random series of Chungs and Lis together and everyone would think it was a famous chinese person. The only one I recognize is Sun Tzu, and thats because one of his quotes appear on CoD4 when yer die...

Out of a matter of interet, what did Chow Yun-Fat do?

 

[219thedude]

My three picks are from Great Britain.

...which isn't a country.

Actually, Great Britain is the traditional short form for 'the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland' and is, therefore, a country.

OT: England
Sir Isaac Newton (Perhaps the greatest mathematician who ever lived)
Richard Dawkins (Esteemed biologist and condemner of religion)
Professor Tim Berners-Lee (inventor of the world-wide-web)
