| 673829 | 2008-05-30 13:05:00 | Bob Doe: That guy only came up with THIN fries as we know them. They were deep-frying the fat wedges type a long time before that. | beeswax34 (63) | ||
| 673830 | 2008-05-30 15:37:00 | I can think of several people who need an obe. The sod who was supposed to be driving me home for a start. Beware the pineapple attached to an electric drill. |

| 673831 | 2008-05-30 23:00:00 | 21] The genius who discovered that the juice of the agave succulent plant could be distilled into something drinkable and delightfully inebriating. | Greg (193) | ||
| 673832 | 2008-05-30 23:09:00 | 22] The monk who mind-boggling and incredibly time-consumingly concocted the recipe and ingredients for Bénédictine liqueur. | Greg (193) | ||
| 673833 | 2008-05-31 02:48:00 | Heck, let's just give them a knighthood. Well I agree. But we, in NZ, do not dish out knighthoods any more unfortunately. We do not have the Privy Council any more. No more Air force either for some reason. We do have more than enough laws but not Justice. I could go on but why bother. Sorry I am so apathetic! |

| 673834 | 2008-05-31 02:56:00 | 13] The inventors of tha Interweb 14] George MacDonald Fraser (well, he's known, but should be more so) 15] Some bloke who picked up the ball and ran with it at Rugby, England 16] The guy who came up with the idea of compressing audio files into MP3 17] The folks who first smoked salmon (15) But what about the person who did not pick up the ball? That was before Rugby I believe and the game is still being played these days. (17) I use cigarettes rather than salmon. |

You're bringing shame to all F1 aliases .....Maybe Natalia misinterpreted the question and actually was referring to this: Rostov: Here one finds the Russian spirit. Wood-goblin have not found out. In Russian mythology, Pan speaks through the lines of Russia’s most famous poet Pushkin: “Here Russian spirit, here wander a wood-goblin, marmite sit on the branches”. Yes, I know that makes absolutely no sense, but I found it on the net so it must be true! |
