I guess it's not as much contributing as demonstrating what a single soldier can do, perhaps?Klepa said:I don't know if we should consider killing lots of russians as "contributing to the world".Ben Bazooka said:
Sibelius I agree with, and Linus Torvalds. How about A.I. Virtanen, of AIV fodder fame? Also won a Nobel.
I did forget to include A.I. Virtanen, and he certainly did contribute.
Great Britain but more specifically Wales which means I have a challenge on my hands.
David Lloyd George - Prime Minister of Britain 1916-1922
William Hughes - The Prime Minister of Australia during WWI but a first generation Welsh immigrant (Also a not too distant relative of mine)
Oliver Cromwell - He was of Welsh decent so I guess that counts
Man... That was difficult

The USA isn't really that difficult, people...you just have to stay away from physics and things are good.

But surely then all he's contributed to is you, not the world.God said:
At the very best, he's "contributed" to Britain.
Urgh, I feel a bit sick after writing that.
Since I'm from Sweden, I'll go all-Swe on yo ass:
1. Alfred Nobel, for inventing dynamite. He raised a shitload of money which is now the fund that the Nobel Prize money comes from.
2. Baron Jöns Jakob Berzelius, the chemist who introduced the world to the periodic table [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodic_table], which 'til today still is almost 100% correct.
3. John Ericson, the man who wrote some book about that the energy that the sun produces can be converted into "solar energy", I'm sure you've heard of it. He was also engaged in lots of other stuff such as digging the "Göta Kanal" and failing to produce a helicopter and instead creating the first motor boat. The irony is that his book on solar energy didn't really become an object of interest until about 100 years after his death.
