US has this as well



The major part of it being of course NASA. Which was basically run by ex-nazis. But it was a smart decision. Wernher Von Braun is by far the smartest rocket scientist of all mankind and he's been dead for over 30 years.

Wrong BF - Hate was running around like crazy in Europe, Mid east, Africa way before America was discovered. As a matter of fact they imported it with the very first arrivals only to find the American (feathers) Indians all hated each other before the white man ever arrived.

no. Tim berners-lee is from England.
He invented WWW, not the internet itself. The concept was invented at MIT, and developed in the 60's by the DoD and others, but the DoD made it what it is today.

Yes. Later in life he became a fierce La-Z-Boy warrior to compensate for his earlier cowardice.

And everybody in Hollywood was, as Honey Boo-Boo puts it, "a little bit gay."

Several of you have mentioned the light bulb and I assume y'all are referring to Thomas Edison.

In reality the lightbulb was invented in England before Edison was even born.

Edison simply made a longer lasting filliment and successfully got a U.S. Patent for it.

Right, but these guys were Americans, as is the DoD.

The Brits are pompous assholes. If they had any part in something whatsoever, they "invented" it.

See?

Doesn't really count if it didn't work. They also made shitloads of airplanes that didn't fly.

And everyone forgets that animation is a 100% American invention.
