 ? Americans are the greatest inventors, and you had nothing to do with our military!  |

Um..... Edison, anyone?  Well, even if you consider Leo a more sucessful inventor, at least he wasn't British! LOL |

Thomas Edison discovered the lightbulb.
Leonardo invented a bridge, helicopter, submarine, machine gun, tank, parachutes, and more.
He painted the most famous painting of all time, and many other master pieces.
If you want British inventions:
Computer, Geostationary Satellite, Hovercraft, Jet Engine, Lawnmower, Steam Train, Telephone, Television, The Web, and so on...
Infact, the lightbulb is British too! Joseph Swan created a working lightbulb in 1860, and had his patent a year before Edison got his!

Very cute. SS- the lightbulb was not Edison's greatest invention, at least in his own opinion. Go here to see a list of his patents. He tops Leo any day. |

They're all the same frigging thing repeated several times!
And they're patents, not inventions. I mean "Design for a Cabinet" - a cabinet design is hardly an invention!

It's an innovation. Besides, most of Leo's ideas didn't get off the drawing board! At least Edison created a lot of useful stuff!  |

It's a fecking cupboard door!
And Edison created a few crappy things, nothing of much use at all.
