things the scottish have invented

Asides from having invented most of Australia...

1. Television
2. Telephone
3. Fax
4. Pneumatic Tyres
5. Road Surfacing (Tarmac)
6. Radio
7. First edition of the Encyclopaedia Brittanica (hard copy wikipaedia)
8. The post office
9. The sticky postage stamp
10.Logarithms (basis of all advanced maths)
11. Hypnosis (for stubborn sheep)
12. First cloned animal (a sheep, unsurprisingly)
13. The SI unit of temperature
14. The decimal point
15. Bicycles
16. Hypodermic syringe
17. Antibiotics (later stolen by Australia, similar to Crowded House and Russell Crowe)
18. Discovering insulin
19. Cures for malaria, scurby and typhoid
20. Antiseptic practices
21. Lawnmowers (as sheep substitutes)
22. Steam engines (thus ushering in the industrial age)
23. Modern economics
24. Banks of England and France
25. Sheep shagging (sorry New Zealand, we were there first)
26. Bovril (thus stolen as vegemite by Australia, still foul)

On a per capita basis, Scotland's innovations cannot be beaten. We also like to get drunk, wear skirts and misbehave. But so do most of the judiciary.
