I'm gonna get all smartass on you and tell you Alexander Graham Bell didn't invent the telephone. He stole the idea from Antonio Meucci who couldn't afford the patent for it. Alexander Graham Bell is Scottish anyway isn't he? confused

Yay for all the other stuff though.

Yeah I guess a couple people were actually toying with the invention at the time and he just got the rights first. There was a trial and all that..born in scotland moved to Canada.

Canada isnt that old, most of us were immigrants back then XD
