Alexander Graham Bell was Canadian
 

Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of the telephone and co-inventor of the hydrofoil boat, was a Canadian. He was born in Scotland, but if the U.S. can claim Einstein and the atomic bomb, then Canada can claim Bell and the telephone, and his other inventions, such as the microphone..

Go here for a list of other things invented by Canadians that you probably thought were American. :thumbsup

It was a real surprise to me.

Basketball

:P

I'll see your canadian with 5 Americans

Jeez, 5 pin bowling. Do we really want to take credit for that?

This just in... Canada now has 2 medals in the Olympics. 1 in Synchronized diving and 1 in Trampoline!

Canada Rules! :thumbsup









Ok I hang my head in shame :(

we drove thru all of Ohio yesterday... Cincinnati looked pretty cool from what i could see from the truck

Thats bullshit! its trying to claim everyone. I think the main thing is that America shouldnt claim Einstein and the bomb. Fuckin said Naismith(the guy who invented basketball) was canadian, man fuck that shit Naismith invented basketball here in Kansas I think and we have less than canada so give us something:thumbsup

Edison did a lot.

Bought the patent for the lightbulb and made major improvements on it.

Actually invented the telephone BEFORE Alexander G. Bell, and did it better... but he kept tweaking it and got to the patent office 4 hours AFTER Bell.

Invented the Dynamo (electric generator) , electric cigar lighter for cars, electric streetcars;

And last but not least, THE MOVIE PROJECTOR!

American, Canadian, who cares? The were all of European stock, and in the end that's the key to the future of our civilization.

Same service that runs your lines down there...oh except we pay about half as much as you do.

I got unlimitted North American calls for 40$ a month total cost, local line with unlimitted long distance.

I used to work for Bell Atlantic (befor they were Verizon) and im glad we dont have the shit you guys have.

BTW we also invented smarties..heh

wow

Wasn't the real inventor Italian? Saw it in some episode of Sopranos.

I know Tesla had been working on both those inventions, but hadnt gotten any patents on them.

Those are some high quality items he discovered and not many have a clue who he even is....cept us 80's hair band freaks..hahha

Ok then why in my call center days, Bell Atlantic, At&T was using our facilities in Canadia to do there sales and customer support instead of american peeps ?

Guess we had better skills for a better price :Graucho

Face it you guys need us cause we are more friendly :1orglaugh
