now I really feel old, should have kept my gas mask and ration book, historical artifacts.

Yes, I just figured that Easy's question requires a lot more answers rather than going on to another one... such as the Magna Carta.

Anyway here's my question:

Mandela..

Why? We all know why!

Moi: Why? The net is for everyone, don't you like to hear the truth?

yank: Ha, stupid Brit, if it wasn't for us you wouldn't be able to use the net.

Moi: Get your facts straight dipshit, if it wasn't for the wonderful Sir Tim Berners Lee (lovely British man) you wouldn't be able to use the net.

Absolutely classic PIE&MASH. Having lived in the states for Year, Dallas TX. I had it shoved down my throat about how the good old US of A almost single handedly created the world. LOL
