Lady Ireth Blood`Eternity Midnight Lace Yeah. Mesopotamia had the first known writing... Along with the first wheel too. =D It surprised me. But yeah.
They had alot of the firsts. and there was a group, the Olmecs, I believe, who developed a writing system.. or was it the other? I'm too tired, I'll look my facts up straight tomorrow and straighten them up. xD Yeah and Mesopotamia were also the first businessmen, they were the first to implement the loaning system and they had the richest city the world has every known [the great Babylon].
@Lady Ireth::
It may have been invented in China, but it was revolutionized in Italy.. ^^ Pizza wasnt invented in Italy either, it was invented in America, well we made it what it is today, the Italians only made dough with pasta sauce on it, there was no toppings on there pizza, no cheese that was not in the pasta and no meats either, or vegetables. Just dough with pasta sauce?
...Breadsticks! =D Yeah but it was shaped like a pizza with hardlike bread [like breadsticks] on the end and soft dough throughout the pizza... next time you buy a pizza, just rip off the cheeze and everything goes with it but sauce, that was italian pizza.

Lady Ireth I have something to add.
Pasta was invented in China, nope not Italy, China. 3nodding
No one at school believed me, but my History teacher backed me up. the pasta in china was originally made with rice, but when Marco Polo went back to his home, he took the recipie and because they didn't have rice, he put in flour instead.

China was named after Shi Huangdi (translates to "First Emperor" I believe) of the Qin dynasty.
Qin is pronounced "Chin", hence, "China".
At least, that is what I was lead to believe...

I knew about the one child law. But the grenades.... Now that's awesome.
Chinese people get the title of 'ownage' just for that.
Though the one child rule down-plays on it.
