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.

Going with the swivel chair, in 1776.

The English language.

England/Britain has produced far more than its fair share of great inventions, but the language is the best one of all.

best =/= most popular

 

[Woodsey]

Canadian here. I'm torn between the telephone and the push-up bra.

Push-up bra every time.

OT: I'm English, and I haven't got a clue of what we've invented.

 

[the idiot computer]

Engaland:Computer.

i would say that was the germans, with the Z3 by Zuse...

ah i meant first programmable, digital, electronic, computing devices.In any case it was Engaland with our Colossus Computer.

Here's a link if your wondering-http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colossus_computer

 

[Ryokai]

For my beloved Israel, it's a toss-up between the Cellphone, or the Silicon chips that power the very computers we're using.

Another great invention is the algorithms that Google, Windows, and Apple OS are based on.

Not bad for a country that's only 62 years old.

 

[open trap]

Nuclear bombs? no no i got it, Aircraft for the Wright Brothers perfected it

 

[DarkLight523]

Samuel Adams Summer Ale

 

[De Ronneman]

I'm Dutch, and Antoni van Leeuwenhoek was the first to use the ligthmicroscope to it's fullest potential. He didn't invent it though...

 

[soapyshooter]

Nuuuu-uuuuke!
America made the first nuclear bomb, and the first shuttle that could feasibly sustain human life.

The shuttle thing is wrong. It was the Russians. They beat us with first human, first woman, first dog and first space station in space. But we got the moon so lets call it even

no, they had the first drone in space. It was called Sputnik, and that was what fueled the red or dead arguments. America got the first human in space.

WTF? The first human in space was Yuri Gagarin. He was Russian, sent up by Russians on a fucking Russian spacecraft.
