Greeks Invented Everything

Postby Gasman » Sat Jun 19, 2010 9:05 pm

Must be true because they have their own Facebook group of that name now.

http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2208415743

This groups was created to honor the fact that the Greeks truly did invent everything! And we all know this to be true. There are those xenni who think their people invented something, for example the Italians say they invented pizza, well no actually the Greeks did, you guys just couldn't say "pita". The list goes on of things we invented: math, science, astronomy, astrology, pottery,poetry, cars, video games, telephones, democracy, books, computers, the internet, good tasting food, buildings, singing, dancing, partying, the Olympics, ouzo, windex etc. you name it my people invented it!

No it isn't true. Ferdinand Braun invented the cathode ray tube oscilloscope in 1897 and he was German.

Well you can prove anything by searching the internet! I've just seen proof that Germans are descended from Cypriots - based on the fact that a Berliner burned his house down after attacking his garden weeds with a flamethrower!

:lol:

Of course, the flamethrower (or 'Greek fire') was invented by Kallinikos of Heliopolis, probably around 673 AD.

The ancient Greeks invented quite a few things. Most modern Greeks are just barbarians that learned Greek.

Well they all seem to own one! I remember driving along the Lca/Dekhelia strip on the night that Greece won some Football Cup some years ago. The locals were up on top of the gasometers with their flamethrowers. lol!

I heard that Greeks invented Facebook thousands of years ago when parents had a habit of closing books (stone plates) on their children’s faces when they did badly at school… which also explains why some of them have a pointy nose. :?

And Lady O - you should be glad of my postings. If it were not for Omer's insane polls the forum would be deathly quiet. Almost as you obviously wish it to be - once you've got rid of everyone you don't want posting on it!

As I said you can sign in with both IDs then and talk to yourself!
