Yahtzee lives here. You think you can compete with the man who probably brought you (Yes, you!) here in the first place?

Well, eh. One thing does spring to mind!

I'm a history buff and even I didn't know about that...
My mind... blown has it been.

I do remember hearing about it a bit. How the Finnish soldiers could move quickly across the ground due to their equipment while other soldiers had to trek through the snow. That along with their amazing hit and run tactics decimated invading forces. Though I may be thinking of another country.
Heh, sounds about right. It's not the biggest conflict in the world, but it secured Finland its independence, so it's without a doubt the most important thing my country every did - because without it, obviously, Finland might not have been Finland anymore <.<

...Can I say ACDC (in a completely non-suggestive way) or is that an American band.

Also, we seem to have the most poisonous of almost everything and I have heard of giant earthworms and jellyfish that rip blue bottle stingers off and use them as flails....Although they're examples of wildlife so I'm not sure they count.

We repelled the nazi's by guerilla warfare and aided in the sinking of the Blücher.

You guessed it... Norway =)

The only best thing my country ever did was invent several important discoveries, and I live in Hong Kong.

Us (were I am from) invented the internet..

auto-win

none of you would be able to post here if it wasn't for the united states scientists!
(British guy Tim Berners-Lee not the usa)

OT: usa, canada, australia? (we kinda 'made' them)

also what are we speaking....
no actually you are wrong.. he is not British (well technically he was), the moment he became a citizen of the united states and had residency, he became known as an american, which was far before he made the internet. Disagree? well then, all the big achievements made by the united states belonged to other countries then, except those made by Native Americans.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Berners-Lee
Born 8 June 1955 (age 54)[1]
London, England[1]
Residence Massachusetts, USA[1]
Nationality British
Education The Queen's College, Oxford
Occupation Computer Scientist
Employer World Wide Web Consortium and University of Southampton
Known for Inventing the World Wide Web
Title Professor
Religion Unitarian Universalism
Parents Conway Berners-Lee, Mary Lee Woods

From that wikipedia page you linked us to, 4th line says, and I quote: "Nationality: British"

This means he is British, not American. Just throwing that out there for you.

Beat the biggest army in the world with a force of 3000 men, and secured full independence from Britain within 2 decades. Go Ireland!

We also brought some of the greatest poets, writers and artists to the world, and exported our winning formula all over the globe. Wink Wink.
Full Independance, huh. Northern Ireland Furburt. I'm not condoning what we English did, I'm just saying the Irish haven't taken everything back.

OT: England's greatest accomplishment.... hmmm. Getting rid of Tony Blair?
