| I give up!
Just wanted to say, it wasn't intresting as much as I thougt it would be.
After a few replies, you guys started to repeat yourself over and over so it
became boring.
BTW, did you know that every time you write down a number, you actually use
something that muslims invented a very long ago? 1234567890 are known as
arabic numbers. So zeros and ones are based on the muslim invention.
Gunlovers - gunpowder is a chinese invention.
And so on and on and on...
(for the newcomers - I'm not a muslim and I don't hate america)
God bless America and no one else!

No, they weren't, they were invented by Indians, and spread to the west
by Arabic translations of Indian texts.
