Bismillah As Salam alaikum Hmmm? Wha? I fell asleep from all the soccer talk. Sorry... can't be helped. Isn't ajax a cleaner? For those of us still alive... Pittsburgh vs Miami last night? Good times... Good times.... As Salam alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatu I used to watch American football when I was a kid, but then I grew up :lol: * arclight wonders how the Jets are doing these days Its still a game I can watch, but not something I would go out of my way to see. Quote:WE DID invent.... You like to think you did, but you didn't Car - Karl Benz - German Phone - Bell was scottish, and invented the phone while living in Canada but...... the broke italian Antonio Meucci couldn't afford the $10 to keep up the caveat on a patent for his phone. He later sold his prototype for a few hundred dollars to a 'scottish sounding gentleman" to make ends meet. IIRC Meucci has now been credited with inventing the phone. TV - John Logie Baird - Scottish Aircraft are more complicated, but the Wright brothers were the first to achieve 'sustained powered flight', which is a different thing to 'inventing the airplane'. :P :P :P ;)

Quote:Bismillah What about the lightbulb (Einstein became an American, the computer, the cotten gin, the sewing machine, the artificial heart... but how did this become a discussion about inventions???? Football rules. Dan...I take it you are a Steelers fan. Have you always been or did you become one last year? :blush:

Bismillah Not really a Steelers fan. I just like good football. It is so cool to see a program come together. I'll always support my hometown Rams. They won yesterday but many a season has passed where the started off well and then ppbbbhhhttt...

The computer was invented in the 1800's by Babbage. Electronic computer by Tommy Flowers in 1944. Both english BTW :) One thing you don't get in soccer is teams upping sticks and moving over to the other side of the country |
