@clairec666Jan 06.2004 — ? Totally agreed, Rule Britannia! If you were watching 'Little Britain' on BBC2 last night, I think that sums up why we are by far the superior nation.

@iniquity101Jan 06.2004 — having said that, we are forgeting a very nice american man, who was quoted in saying:

"I invented the internet".

- Al Gore, former U.S. Vice President

@eviljoker7075authorJan 06.2004 — Okay Brits, lets show those yanks some proper spellin!

Ye settlers can nay be greater than we, since it is us who ye spawned from, so all yer inventions and stuff count as nothing because ye were originally from ye olde England!

England: 2

America : 0

@pyroJan 06.2004 — This thead is getting incredibly off topic (though it started pretty well OT, I guess...) Save it for Friday-Sunday. ?
Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
@Robert_WellockJan 07.2004 — The reason color was used is because it takes up less space and was easier to spell and http://www.w3.org/People/Berners-Lee/ talks are really good to listen to when you are on T-1.
Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
@eviljoker7075authorJan 07.2004 — Okay so that explains one thing, what about all the others?
Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
@Compguy_PeteJan 07.2004 — pyro said save it till friday...
