The Golden Rule ? Sense or Bullshit?

[Magnum]

How are you enjoying Electricity, the Combustion Engine, Refrigeration, Air Conditioning, Airplanes, Television, Phones, and that Computer you're on?

I like how you merged British inventions and American inventions in the same list. Is that an example of that "special relationship" I keep hearing about?

Notably (for Scots) John Logie Baird and Alexander Graham Bell provide credit to Scotland for the invention of the television and telephone.

Airplanes is an interesting one, too. The Wright Brothers didn't exactly invent flying. There were a lot of eccentrics, crackpots and pioneers around the world who were perfecting various types of flying machine. The Wright Brothers managed the longest recorded flight, winning them credit for the biggest success. It doesn't make it an invention, though.

And I suppose you won't believe that the Chinese were the ones who invented golf and played it ages before it blew over to Europe!
