    Another great Swedish invention, the "Tre Fas" (don't know whts it called in english) system.

    The "tre fas" system is used to give you 380V AC.

    The optical storage medium was invented by an American, but Philips brought the technology to a point where it was useable. So I'll split the credit with the dutch on this one. <A BORDER="0" HREF="http://www.supercars.net/PitLane?displayFAQ=y"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="pitlane/emoticons/grin.gif"></A>

    Bull #$%#ing shit.

    The place we know know as Afghanistan and Tajikistan invented multiculturalism. It was the meeting point of Buddhism, Hinduism, and Islam, not to mention being the main artery of the Silk Road.
