I think your guy who invented dynamite (Alfred Noble?) also invented the Nobel Peace Prize when someone was first killed by dynamite. (Although I can't be bothered to look into this so I could be wrong).lord.knaslaban wrote:

I don't really know about the peace prize but the nobel prize was introduced after he died (his will or something)
oh and its Alfred Nobel .... Almost right

"Your country's contribution?" is a way too big question. People write whole history books about such things.
Adjust the question or this topic is one big e-penis comparison.

Not really. Just think of something that started (within reason) in your country and post it. It's only an e-penis thing if you make it one.Poncho wrote:

By the way, did Al Gore invent e-penises as well as the internet?

Well, the question is not "Your countries contribution", the subject of the thread is. The question is in the first thread.Poncho wrote:

Afraid that you're wrong on all three counts.MDFSpacePhantom wrote:
YaY USA, We come out with the first planes, cars, and computers.
The first heavier than air plane that could actually fly was actually built by an Englishman, Percy Pilcher. However he is generally not credited because the engine broke down when he attempted to start it in public.
The first car to be driven by means of gasoline was built by an Austrian, Siegfried Marcus. We all know who designed the internal combustion engine.
Computers were first designed by an Englishman, Charles Babbage. He is generally known as the father of computing. The first actual computer (a pocket calculator) was designed by Curt Herzstak, an Austrian.
So wrong on all three counts.

The idea of the plastic note remains lost in some. Which means getting your pants wet might cost you hundreds upon hundreds of dollars.Iron_Sentinel wrote:

safetybelt in cars, 3 dots.
I also think(not sure) that we invented the parachute.
"skiftnyckel", the wrench.
Also the "kullager" called ball bearing.
EDIT: added a few things

First country in the world to give women the vote (Kate Sheppard was the main woman behind this; face on our $10 note)
First person to conquer Mt Everest was a kiwi (Sir Edmund Hilary; face on our $5 note)
First person to split the atom was also a kiwi, and also an englishman (Ernest Rutherford; face on our $100 note)
Inventions include the disposable syringe & tranquiliser gun, and the waterjet engine.

That's the be-all end-all of inventions... America invented Chuck Norris. But Chuck Norris made America great!sergeriver wrote:

It's in Wikipedia.
Early development: 1849 Chuck Norris, an Irish living in Havana, demonstrates a device he later called a telephone. (The demonstration involves direct electrical connections to people.)
