How did a thread about wieners get turned into a "US vs UK" thread? WTF guys.

If history comes into play, then we get credit for:
Issac Newton ("who is considered by many scholars and members of the general public to be one of the most influential people in human history.")
Charles Darwin
William Shakespeare


and not even considering history:
Steven Hawking

1) Not necessarily. Ethiopia's been around for several thousand years, probably longer than you, and look how much impact they've had.
2) And how much say do you have now? Here's a hint: who's the sole remaining superpower again?

"The States have the UK Beat by..."

That should've been the dead giveaway right there, sir.

1) In this case, it does matter.
2) Well, we're in the G8, so, I'd say we've still got quite a lot of a say.

because someone was trying to make a joke about our wieners being bigger and a few of the brits got a little butt hurt.

Moved to the BG, since that's what this has turned into.

1) You used to matter. And...
2) So is France. Your argument is invalid.

Actually Coffee was pretty much discovered in Ethiopia.


That means Ethiopia is more influential than the US and UK COMBINED.

I call shenanigans.

You can't call shenanigans on trufax, bitch.

I can if there's a dearth of trufax linkage, BEEYOTCH.

Ask anyone who knows anything about coffee and they'll tell you its origin is in Ethiopia and was spread into the middle east.

That's just a legend, dude. Plus, it says that he picked berries. That alone pretty much invalidates your claim.

That's a legend that goes with the facts. You do realize that coffee beans are INSIDE the berries (coffee cherries) that grow on the trees?
