well, the airplane was invented by a brazilian while he was in paris, and by airplane I mean something heavier than air that lift itself and propel itself by its own means and is controllable but again, most americans think they invented the airplane. Sometimes, I wonder how weird must be an american history book. At least here credit is where credit is due, england invented football, not brazil...
From the mail Mark sent, in the URL there was some centuries old pencil from
some guy named Faber, here I use Faber Castell pencils, is this the same guy? :-O Just like Levis jeans, when I finally learned where that brand come from, I was amazed how things can survive age.... it's morning here, I need more coffee, which also was not invented in Brazil but we take it as the national drink anyway.... and talking about coffee, is very hard to drink real world strong coffee overseas. In the US it tastes like water or it is flavoured, in england it's beer and they serve it by the pint, could never find coffee but always found guinness. In paris it was coffee but it was priced as gold.... here, on a simple bakery, a little cup of coffee, good coffee costs about 13 US Cents and thats what I need now.. actually, I want a cappuccino which I don't know where it was invented but I learned to like in the U.S. by going to starbucks (and my father said: "that. is. not. coffee.") Good morning to all, it's actually pleasant to wake up and say hello to my favorite list. Cheers andre On 7/3/07, Richmond Mathewson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Well, the fact that there is some anniversary for pencils made in The United States of America (that is what I take Mark Weider to mean; as most citizens of the USA forget about the other American countries in their rush to take over the world) is nothing special: and as a Scot who, like most Scots labours under the impression that everything was invented in Scotland - I have to confess that pencils seem to have been invented in England: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pencil No doubt there are also anniversaries in Canada (which is an American country) for the first kilt sewn in the Yukon, and the first Gumbo served in Prince Edward Island; but the modest Canadians forebear! sincerely, Richmond Mathewson ____________________________________________________________ A Thorn in the flesh is better than a failed Systems Development Life Cycle. ____________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________ All New Yahoo!
