ROOOOOOOAD RAAAAAAGE!

That's right! The US fucking made Road Rage, that's our thing! And we should be fucking proud of it.

But that's second best, the best in my mind is the Automobile.

 

[Addendum_Forthcoming]

I'm Australian, and i'm going to go with fridges and freezers, power tools, and the world's first bionic implant.

Of those three I have i'm going with Bionics .... why have flesh when you can ageless steel and plastic? At the moment we only really have bionic ears. But eventually that will be different I suppose.

Another Swede here, and I'd have to say... Well, there's Ingmar Bergman, Opeth and the Battlefield series. Torvalds, though, is Swedish-Finnish, so the Linux kernel is kind of hard to decide. But in the end, I think I'll go with the Celsius temperature scale or the Nobel prize.

 

[Silent Eagle]

F-22 Raptor.
On every serial number it says "made in the USA" right below it.

 

[Joe Deadman]

Also to a slightly lesser extent: Queen

For actual inventions though: carbonated water, machine guns and cat's eyes.

I'd say the computer since John Atanasov is Bulgarian.

 

[AVATAR_RAGE]

I have no idea, there is so many of them [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scottish_inventions_and_discoveries]

Indeed. These British inventors did make some cool stuff

Best thing has to be the jet engine though

Yeah but what about the internet? the world wide web was primarily invented by an english gent, makes me feel proud to be british

Take your pick, most notable ones on there are the world wide web and apparently we invented the USA lol

Wrong Sir! Al Gore invented the inter-webs using a complex series of tubes!

I'm afraid not, He invented the Internet as an entity, which would be the complex network that it is, the www was a British invention during world war 2 I believe and is contained inside of the internet, think of it like the internet being the hard ware, but the world wide web is the juicy software contained within.

 

[SirDeadly]

AFL or the cork hat!

 

[Jovlo]

We Belgians invented french fries!
Also, Bakelite and the saxophone.
