It was originally a gift from france - before they became a socialist state that abhors freedom for Arabs - the statue was constructed by Americans (it was also constructed by frenchmen before being disassembled and shipped to the USA). Unfortunately it had to be rebuilt less than 100 years later because of defective materials fabricated in france. We still appreciate those french who made it for us, though - at least they believed in liberty.

Don't know about the rest, but the postage stamp was invented by James Chalmers (a Scotsman) in 1834. Rowland Hill championed the idea of the penny post, and the first stamp, the Penny Black, was issued by the UK in 1840. _____________ |@|#POSTAGE#|@| |%###########%| |%####,;,####%| |%###"==~;%##%| |%##/' ? ;##%| |%##'- ,'##%| |%###` /####%| |%####! \####%| |%###/ ####%| |%###########%| |A|ONE#PENNY|D| '-------------' > And despite all of this we still have the Queen of England as our head of > state... wtf.

Hmmm I think you're thanking the wrong people, The Crown prince noticed her, asked her, married her and the rest of Denmark accept her as their own. You should be proud of the values shown by your royal family. She seems like a loveley person who would not have been given the same opportunities or notice here in Australia by her fellow Australians. Rgrds DLT

From Wikipedia: #---------------------------------------------------------------------- Development of the first refrigerators Many countries can claim to be the home of the inventor of the refrigerator, as the technology was developed over a period of time all over the world, using different types of technology and for different purposes. Claimants to the name of inventor include Oliver Evans (USA), Jacob Perkins (USA and England), John Gorrie (USA), Alexander Catlin Twining (USA), James Harrison (Australia) and Carl von Linde (Germany). One of the first uses of "home" refrigeration was at Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina, USA, installed around 1895 [1] (http://www.biltmore.com), while in commercial refrigeration the Vestey Brothers opened one of the first refrigerated cold stores in London the same year. The gas absorption refrigerator, which cools by the use of a source of heat, was invented in Sweden by Baltzar von Platen in 1922. [2] (http://otal.umd.edu/~vg/amst205.F97/vj09/project5.html) It was later manufactured by Electrolux and Servel. Today it is used in homes that are not connected to the electrical grid, and in recreational vehicles. <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refridgeration> #---------------------------------------------------------------------- OA: -=[ latkes and apple sauce ]=- 12/97 .-'''''-. |'-----'| /`-.....-`\ | <_} | | .-\-. | _,._ | /# ` \ | __.-` `"""-. | \ / | ..--' `"-. `)_,._ \ '-'-' / (` )--.-"``` `"-.`'-----'` '-----------' ( ) jgs `-------------` -- Mark Hill

The thing I'm not so sure about are the abrogation of the right to arm themselves with guns. But then that should be obvious to anyone watching the crime rate increase. Damn shame that!

Yeah, the right to bear arms in the US has really helped drive that crime rate down there ...

(cough cough) It sure has. CCW (concealed carry of weapons) States have seen a definite decrease in crime, whereas those places that have restricted or banned weapons are the worst crime ridden shitholes in the country. It's abundantly clear that only law-abiding citizens obey laws that usurp the right to defend oneself with a firearm.
