Seeing as it's Canada Day I did a little research(ok good god i'm bored..need sleep...sleeeep) and found out some things Canadian's have been busy with during the last 137 years or so. Anti-Gravity Pilot Suit Automatic Postal Sorter Avro Jetliner: world's first commercial jetliner production was stopped mysteriously Avro Arrow: Canadian military's(no really we used to have one) supersonic interceptor way ahead of its time but again, the project was mysteriously scrapped Basketball: too bad we can't figure out how to get a decent team..#%@^# Vince Carter..big baby Birth Control : (The Pill) CanadaARM: Canada's contribution to the space shuttle Cesium Beam Atomic Clock? Compound Steam Engine CPR mannequin Electron Microscope(co-invented at the University of Toronto) Film Colourization: Sorry about that one..Turner you monster Gas Mask Pacemaker IMAX (co-invented) Insulin Java programming Kerosene Lawn Sprinkler: One of many by Elijah McCoy, which is where the term the 'real mccoy' comes from Light Bulb: Canadian Henry Woodward invented the electric light bulb in 1874 but unable to come up with the funds for further research and development and sold the patent to Thomas Edison McIntosh apples PainT Rollers Paper: 40% of the world's newspaper is printed on Canadian paper, until the 1800 cotton rag was used PlexiGlas Electric prosthetic hand Robertson screw Snowblower and the snowmobile..well duh lol Standard Time Trivial Pursuit Walkie Talkie AM Radio: and subsequently the first ever Radio broadcast The Zipper not bad 4 the little nation that could |
