We win.

Hurraaaay!

Lets just rub it in their faces though...:

Fish and Chips.

Overkill!

edit: it just occurred to me...:

Doctor Who.

ok i get fish and chips, sounds good, by why is it served in a newspaper?!"

They are not allowed to anymore. shame, Chippys everywhere have lost their authentic Chippy feel. It's like a pub not being able to sell lager anymore.

Anyway, our best achievement to date has got to be Doctor who.

Conversely, the one thing that makes me wish i wern't English is the weather. Seriously, It was breaking news last week, when we discovered the sun for the first time

Nikola Tesla made all his inventions here. IN YOUR FACE, CROATIA!

Why the hell does the U.S. import half its' scientists? Where are all the great scientists of U.S?

You. smug. bastard.
If you hire a bad repairman and let him use your toolbox he's still going to do a pretty shitty job.
Oh and will someone give us some praise for other things for a change? I mean, you wear a tie to a job meeting and use a pen to fill out the application. Hell, if Hindenburg never happened you'd listen to mp3 while traveling by zeppelin. Or should i say Schwarz?

EDIT: Holy shit! Just did a wee bit of googling and found this!

Spoiler: Wireless Energy Transfer

2010: Haier Group debuts the world's first completely wireless LCD television at CES 2010 based on Prof. Marin Soljačić's follow-up research on wireless energy transfer and Wireless Home Digital Interface.

Heard about it before but never knew it was one of our guys.

*If edit-quoting would result in a message to the quotee, I wouldn't be forced to double-post.*

Pfff! Like we really care about what you did, you are a greedy and narcistic country, thats all you are. Anyway, I dont really care what my country has done, we are people and pride will get us nowhere!

Way to marginalize two of the most important accomplishments of mankind, asshole.

Meh, Humanity is a failure and landing on the moon is pointless unless we develop a way of actually LIVING (water + food outside from earth) outside out planet before we destroy each other. And whats the point of being proud of accomplishment, what we should do instead of barking about accomplishments is we should keep on developing and improving. Pride is indeed humanity's worst error.

Oh sure it is. Just as funny as the invasion of of Iraq, with the three main reasons for war being lies. Hehe, oh you nut's. Boy oh boy, thats a knee slapper. Just for that keen joke, Bush was reelected.

PS: I'm white aswell.

Invented the light bulb

Light Bulb, well there are 22 people listed as inventing it before Swan (British), who was before thieving Edison

Edison did it best. His version of it wasn't directly modified for well over 100 years. When you think about how quickly technology is replaced these days that's pretty big.

Invented the modern computer

Turns out that was British too, "Although considered "small and primitive" by the standards of its time, it was the first working machine to contain all of the elements essential to a modern electronic computer." (The Manchester Small-Scale Experimental Machine is considered the first Modern Computer).

Would it shut you up if I said that I meant to say "personal computer"?

 

[jj90]

We took over most of the known world.

That's a good one, isn't it?

we had the biggest empire in earths history XD

Cool your persian ?

The Persians had a large empire, but it was "only" southern parts of Europe and southwest Asia. The British Empire at it's maximum had a fair bit of 5 different continents under it's belt.

thanks for making the point for me ^_^

Well, there was a belgian guy who invented the BMI (Body Mass Index),
Belgian Waffles are also invented by a belgian person,
Jean-Claude Van Damme comes from Belgium,
We invented 'Brussel-Halle Vilvoorde', the fastest to get a government to fall from an simple problem (if you say BHV to a belgian politician, he/she runs away faster than a speeding bullet),
asphalt was also invented by a Belgian,
We will probably also be able to solve all the worlds problems if only our politicians would be able to get along, so don't expect any problems solved by Belgium anytime in the next 50 trilion years or so.
We also co-invented the European Union, the biggest piece of crap ever made, and there are some belgians who are proud of that.



We also invented french fries, and the French can say what they want, but they just don't know how to make them, we do because we invented them.


Ow, I'm pretty sure we also had something to do with getting Aids in the world.

Created the internet I guess.

I would say the first open heart surgery, but only a few people have that done. Everyone uses the internet.

 

[CouchCommando]

Buggered if I know, rotary clothesline? Ute maybe, and I think someone mentioned thongs.
Also in a relativley short period of time we managed to build all the vital institutions, infrastructure to have a pretty comfortable living standard for most of our citizens. Including power lines, telecommunications roads and rail. Considering how fuck off ginourmous our land mass is compared to our population ,and how dry flat and inhospitable the bulk of it is, this is no mean feat.

Well, aren't you wonderfully insightful and wordly?

By the way, I know of this awesome site which sells top-of-the-line self-flagellation whips. You interested?

Ownership of space is divided between the succeeding countries of the Soviet Union.
