Wasn't New Zealand the first country to grant women universal suffrage?

The lagerphone is hardly an invention just a badly made version of the Central European "devil's fiddle".

Seems strange that refigeration was invented after the refrigerator!

Didn't the original juggernaught (or similar) have differential gears hundreds (if not thousands) of years ago?

It's not surprising really that Aussie Rules Football was invented in Australia.

I could go on but I'm bored now
