Not really an invention, but interesting to note.
My country reinvented cholera after it was all but considered extinct.
How many of you can guess where I'm from?
Australia? The Warp?
No.
Think Third-world country. Our 'President' is Uncle Bob.
That probably won't help.

Britain : Invented the USA and helped in the creation of Canada. Thought I'd help the Brits


Zimbabwe?
Well Done. How did you get it?
The "President is 'Uncle Bob'" line.
I didn't know anyone in the US knew about us.

Oh, well also we have all this other cool stuff from splitting the atom, so you just take the good with the bad. Besides a fiery apocalypse of our on doing is a cool way to the end the world.

New Zealand here. Maori's invented trench warfare. Also rutherford began the invention of nuclear power by splitting the atom, so i guess that counts.

The dude who invented the Segway made a prosthetic arm that hooks up to your spine and you control it with your mind or something like that. Stephen Colbert had him on talking about it, I looked and couldn't find an article.
