The fauna of Edinburghs coast line also distracted a certain Mr Darwin to prove god wrong.

Canada has graced the world with it's presence. You're welcome.

USA invented the very machine you're typing on...so.......

Actually, the first PC was invented by Alan Turing, from Cambridge, England.

Mate, this may distress you, but we haven't won the Rugby World Cup since 1987.

While that is true we didn't choke in '91 (old past-it team) or '95 (lost by a drop goal in over time). Its '99 onwards that we actually started choking.

One more thing: Pav-fucken-lova (the desert of the gods).

Most of Europe would be Speaking German and doing the Nazi Goose-step. guess what that country is.
we also capped the enemy flag at the Reichstag.
also Stalin.

actually German is the most spoken first Language in Europe

btw not only that the famous photo of the Reichstag capture was staged, it had to be retouched to hide stolen wristwatches for obvious propaganda reasons...

every military legend has its dark sides as well

it's obvious that the photo was staged.

I'm from the country that everyone else hates but comes running to when ever there is a problem expecting us to fix it. (USA)

 

[Evil the White]

The English settled America. Therefore, anything that comes out of America also has us to thank for it as well.

Unless it's crap. Then it's the fault of separation.

 

[Sunrider]

The Three-point Safety Belt, dynamite and the blowtorch! Just saying.

EDIT: And encryption machines. Dunno if you're supposed to be thankful for that though.

Hungary? The first anti-Semitic laws of the inter-war years.
The Jews that were forced to leave their homes as a result of this? Paul Simon, Stephen Fry [the last two were the children of emigrants, as far as I know], John von Neumann.. Before that, Harry Houdini.
Seriously, Hungary fucking sucks.

Ireland? Joyce, Yeats, Longley, Patrick McCabe, The Richter Collective.. Ireland fucking rocks. Can't wait to be able to afford the citizenship application.

Russia saved Europe from the Tatar invasion (by taking one for the team for a few hundred years)
Russia saved Europe in 1812 (except you France)
Saved again in 1945 (Don't pretend the US did it, Berlin was taken by the USSR.

And tons of hot women...

I'm not even American when I say this (Australian) but I think you misrepresent the situation in 1945 a little bit. Not that I'm not saying Russia involvement wasn't bigger or more significant than the US's but the war was won when the US joined in because they provided the shear weight numbers that ended the war.
Also A slight little aside completely off topic but I heard that in Russia they teach America faked the moon landings. Is that true?

You're completely wrong, (I'm Australian) and Russia had the largest amount of forces/deaths by a massive number, 1/3 of deaths in ww2 belonged to Russia. I always say that Russia won the European Campaign, then Commonwealth forces, then Partisans and then Americans.


Without the Russians, the French, Germans, Mongols, Romans etc would of run all of Europe at some point, we must thank Russia for their contribution to the Earth not to mention the largest area of forest in the world.

Yeah I just realized how wrong I was. sorry to sound like a douche but You might be misunderstanding me. I'm fully aware that Russian involvement vastly outweighed American. I'm sorry to come off like I did.

 

[Lord Krunk]

Australia gave you eskys, Hills-Hoists and Felix The Cat.

Are you humbled yet?
