britain-the internet, the inventor sir Tim Berners-lee could have made millions, but instead he chose to give it away for free.

the www was a British invention during world war 2 I believe

yess indeed the army created it as a means of data sharing during the war, a series of complex sharing files...that eventually evolved into...the internet

*hi-five* for knowing useless information

Insulin, SONAR, The Telephone, Standard Time, etc.


Oh, and since this is a gaming site, we have provided some quality developers (Bioware, Silicon Knights, several Canadian branches of companies like EA are arguably their best teams)


But my favorite has to be the Canadarm. Rick Mercer said it best when he pointed out that only Canada could build a giant arm that can't give anybody the finger.

Guinness

And Ireland invented the Tank, the Submarine, and flavored potatochips.

Actually, us Dutch invented the submarine. And the telescope, the microscope, the CD, speed cameras (sorry) and the artificial kidney.

I thought America invented the submarine. One was used in the revolutionary war around 1776.

That was the first combat submarine. The Dutch one was for exploration.

 

[nick n stuff]

Britain: the fucking internet. remove the furries and 4chan and you have the best worldwide resource ever.

 

[silentsentinel]

In addition to all-important discoveries such as the cheese slicer and the aerosol spray, we Norwegians invented

Spoiler: the exploding harpoon and the -gun

So, kids, everytime you see a whale or other marine mammal being shot to pieces, remember to thank the Norwegians.

*angry shudder*

Australian here; Internet WiFi

Which is amusing considering how patchy the coverage is here.

America: Sunglasses. Fuck yea.

Sunglasses were invented in ancient china. Judges wore smoke tinted lenses to conceal their emotions.

Scotland: it has to be IRN-BRU the worlds most tasty soft drink.

Danish. I'm going to have to go with LEGO.

but it is true, we did make it

The Light bulb, and I'm English.

Calumon: Funny Fact, the light bulb was first invented in England, but Thomas Edison made it much more practical as the English Invention required constant pumping. However the English Bulb was much more safer, while the pumping system was not! ^^

[sub]Calumon: There I said it... Can I have the cookie Now?[/sub]

Whats with the whole Calumon thing? Do you have some sort of split personality?
