GUEST,Clogger BS: Inventions 'claimed' to be American (145* d) BS: 30 Dec 05


There is a popular misconception that certain things were invented by our American cousins when in fact they WERE NOT!
Examples are:-
English (obviously)
Powered Flight (Wilbur and Orvile just got published more)(U.K.)
The Atom Bomb (Not so sure I am proud of this one)(Joint allied)

O.K. In the spirit of fair play (I am English after all) we can have inventions that ARE american but are thought not to be.Just be sure to tell us where they were invented.....Have fun!
