Not many for Wales(shocker), but I'd say it was the mail-order catalogue.

Although apparently we built the worlds first working aeroplane.

Fine, you win. America. We re-invented diabetes. And perfected it, to a fine, blubbery shine.

An American invented the cell phone? I thought it was a Japanese thing. No, wait, they just did it better. ...Snap.
FU. how about this, the Ipod, Iphone, and lightbulb?
What about the iPhone and the iPod? You think they are the greatest American invention? If that's the case I'm disappointed in you.

You do know post-its were developed by someone who was looking for a new super-powerful super-glue right? He failed but realized the result of his failure was still useful.
i hate you too.
The hostility is unnecessary. I was just making a point.

Every country has it fair share of smart people, and sometimes, one of these geniuses creates something bloody amazing that everyone loves. So what is your favorite invention by someone in your country?

I'm from Sweden, and my favorite is, the one and only: Spotify.
A mexican invented the Colour TV. Appart from that I can't even remember anything build by mexicans, Mexico has been fucked up for years to be honest.

Anyway, we invented the dynamite (Alfred Nobel was Swedish anyway).
And the Nobel Price.
I think you win.

Ummmm...Benjamin Franklin invented the lightning rod and the odometer (you know, that thing in your car that tells you how many miles you've clocked). Edison invented the lightbulb.

EDIT: [small]Anyone like my new title?[/small]

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that my country's best invention ever was the atomic bomb. It ended the Second World War and scared the two major superpowers of the last half-century from starting World War III.

It was it's own country 1839-1845
Ok then I was joking when I asked that question but if you want to go there. I asked since as you were implying texas is now a country. I did not ask if texas was a country some time in the past.
Texas wants to become its own country for some reason so maybe he's thinking along those lines.
