    Zephy summed it up for me tyvm also you forgot that we aussies invented the cork hat!!!!!! no ones more genious than us.
    also Santa lil 12 year olds is just what everyone says when they're trying to make the point across about being immature. I dont think the majority of 12 year olds are actually too immature but for some reason they were unluckily picked as the immature age. also you don't count as 12. you're a 15 year old trapped inside a 12 year olds body. kinda like the whole transexual thing
    Sleeping...

    i'm sure the results would have been the same if this thing had been filmed in austrailia and edited the same. the only reason u.s.a has more stupid people than most countries is because there is more people overall. oh, and most people think that americans are stupid because george bush is. did you know that he is the first mentally retarded president of the united states? no, really...

    Lets see. Ill put a few notable important ones here.

    1843 Mechanical Refrigerator American John Gorrie produced the first mechanical refrigeration unit in 1842

    1837 Power Tools Thomas Davenport of Brandon, Vermont, is one of the first to find a practical application for the electric motor. He uses a motor he built to power shop machinery and also builds the first electric model railroad car.

    1846 Cylinder Printing Press Richard M. Hoe creates a revolution in printing by rolling a cylinder over stationary plates of inked type and using the cylinder to make an impression on paper. This eliminated the need for making impressions directly from the type plates themselves, which were heavy and difficult to maneuver.

    1859 Oil Well Drilling at Titusville, Pennsylvania, "Colonel" Edwin Drake strikes oil at a depth of 69.5 feet. Prior to that, oil, which had been used mostly as a lubricant and lamp fuel, had been obtained only at places where it seeped from the ground. Western Pennsylvania witnesses the world's first oil boom.

    1860 Repeating Rifle B. Tyler Henry, chief designer for Oliver Fisher Winchester's arms company, adapts a breech-loading rifle invented by Walter B. Hunt and creates a new lever action repeating rifle. First known as the Henry, the rifle will soon be famous as simply the Winchester.

    1876 Telephone Alexander Graham Bell and Elisha Gray, amongst others, have all been credited with the invention. The very early history of the telephone is a confusing morass of claim and counterclaim, which was not clarified by the huge mass of lawsuits which hoped to resolve the patent claims of individuals. The Thomas Edison patents, however were forensically victorious and commercially decisive

    1879 Light Bulb Thomas Edison's created the first practical incandescent lamp in 1879.

    1891 Motion Picture Camera In 1891 Thomas Alva Edison and William K.L. Dickson invented the world's first motion picture camera.

    1902 Air Conditioner Willis Carrier manufactured the world's first mechanical air conditioning unit in 1902.

    1903 Powered Aeroplane The Wright brothers are generally credited with building the world's first successful human flight in a powered aeroplane and making the first controlled, powered and heavier-than-air human flight on December 17, 1903.

    1906 Assembly Line Henry Ford perfected the assembly line concept by 1906, and Ford was the first to build entire factories around the concept, which was also referred to as the armory system. The increased efficiency allowed Ford to cut prices in half, and in half again, selling the car for $850 in 1909, and $290 by 1924.

    1983 Internet The first TCP/IP-wide area network was operational by January 1, 1983, when the United States' National Science Foundation (NSF) constructed a university network backbone that would later become the NSFNet.

    DO I need to put more Im really just wasting my time now?

    List of australia key inventions. http://www.questacon.edu.au/html/100...novations.html

    1928: Speedo Swimwear
    This swimwear originated in Sydney when the MacRae Knitting Mills manufactured the company's first swimsuit, the razorback, made from silk and joined in the middle of the back. Speedo introduced the world's first nylon swimsuit in 1957.

    1947: Cloud Seeding
    Scientists at CSIRO conducted the first successful cloud seeding experiments, making rain fall near Bathurst, NSW.

    1952: Victa Lawnmower
    The Victa version of the petrol lawnmower with rotary blades was developed by Mervyn Victor Richardson, and became an Aussie icon.

    1956: Redback Spider Antivenom
    An antivenom for the bite of the redback spider developed by Dr Saul Weiner was released for use.

    1964: Latex Gloves
    The Ansell company had made household gloves since 1925. In 1964 they introduced the disposable latex gloves for use in surgery.

    1965: Wine Cask
    Thomas Angove introduced the wine cask.

    1973: Pop Top Can
    Sir Ian McLennan of BHP came up with the idea of press-buttons where the button is hinged to the can and does not cause a litter problem.

    1974: Super Sopper
    Sydney inventor Gordon Withnall invented this device which soaks up water from wet sportsgrounds.

    1983: Footrot Vaccine
    CSIRO produced a vaccine against footrot using genetic engineering techniques

    1998: Hybrid Toilet
    A lightweight, fully-enclosed toilet system which requires no water and minimal maintenance was released for sale.

    So pratically before australia had invented speedo swimwear the United States had invented everything that makes the world what it is today.

    Hmm not hard to make one group of people look less inteligent than the other is it. I don't know what I would do withouth my australian inventions of the speedo, footrot vaccine, and cloud seeding. Im much rather have all those than electricity, power tools, telephones, modern printing presses and the internet. Not to mention the most powerfull democracy in the world that practically diminshed dictatorship, communism and oppresion worldwide.

    Its not that hard to stick a camera in someones face and get them choked up on simple questions. Liken it to being put in front of class and solving a math problem or giving a speech in front of a class. Changes things quite a bit. Your talking about a heavily edited piece of film that only shows people answering wrong. Why does it not show anyone getting the question right? Because then it would not be funny or interesting then would it. The media is all about getting you interested in watching so it can charge more for ads. It could care less the image it sets forth.

    Thank you. This is unfair, biased, and stereotypical.

    Your wrong. George Bush may not make decisions that please you, but that doesn't make him an idiot. And to people who think he is stupid for grammatical errors, he has admitted himself that he isn't the best public speaker. If someone is truly stupid, your not going to be president of the US. I am not saying I support him, but jeez, stop nitpicking.
