Wow, this is the first time I see such a thing. I can't believe they've even bothered to make a movie...
Ok, call me nationalist and patriotic. Because I am! ~D

I'm sure I read once that Samuel Pepys (died 1703) used a fountain pen to write his celebrated diary. And I'm also pretty certain that the second most spoken language at Microsoft is Hindi. :book:

That's because they discredited the initial inventor. :tongue:
@King Henry V
Wrong with the Hindi. There are more Romanians than Indians...
As for the 1703 stuff, it's kinda hard to make a fountain pen in those times. Plus, Petrache Poenaru is renowned worldwide for his creation, so tough luck.

Err, India is famous for being a super IT country, whereas Romania....
Edit: 1/3 of all employees at Microsoft are Indian. I seriously doubt that over a third of Microsoft staff is Romanian.
BTW, it's really cheesy to get an American to do a voice over about how great Romania is. :laugh4:

Romania has an interesting history, dramatic natural beauty and a great culture, and the world would be the lesser without it, but I could in fact imagine a world without fountain pens, unconvincing scientific claims and second-rate beer.
Bah, everyone knows insulin is (part) Scottish...Maybe you're thinking of peniciline and the work of Alexander Fleming here?

There's always the biro (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballpoint_pen), and I think the general consensus is that Belgian beer pwns all.

Wednesday 5 August 1663
All the morning at the office, whither Deane of Woolwich came to me and discoursed of the body of ships, which I am now going about to understand, and then I took him to the coffee-house, where he was very earnest against Mr. Grant’s report in favour of Sir W. Petty’s vessel, even to some passion on both sides almost. So to the Exchange, and thence home to dinner with my brother, and in the afternoon to Westminster hall, and there found Mrs. Lane, and by and by by agreement we met at the Parliament stairs (in my way down to the boat who should meet us but my lady Jemimah, who saw me lead her but said nothing to me of her, though I ought to speak to her to see whether she would take notice of it or no) and off to Stangate and so to the King’s Head at Lambeth marsh, and had variety of meats and drinks, but I did so towse her and handled her, but could get nothing more from her though I was very near it; but as wanton and bucksome as she is she dares not adventure upon the business, in which I very much commend and like her. Staid pretty late, and so over with her by water, and being in a great sweat with my towsing of her durst not go home by water, but took coach, and at home my brother and I fell upon Des Cartes, and I perceive he has studied him well, and I cannot find but he has minded his book, and do love it. This evening came a letter about business from Mr. Coventry, and with it a silver pen he promised me to carry inke in, which is very necessary. So to prayers and to bed.

Oh nice, a "my-country-is-the-bestest"-thread, but since I almost completely stopped using those pens, drink german beer and am not a diabetic(yet), I think a world without Romania might be a world without threads like this one.~;)

I'd take over all your current positions so there is no worrying there
A world without Romania is a world without war.

Imagine a world made up only of Romania!
All we'd have to keep civilization going would be fountain-pens (errr, maybe), insulin (errr, maybe), and a few MS toilet-cleaners.
Can't wait.

A more intelligent reply is unlikely so this thread can be closed.

A bunch of Dutchmen in a dinghy, headed by a half Sealander, half German. The British Royal Navy was also once sent packing from the island apparently.

I think this is a misunderstanding.
I was merely saying there can't be a more intelligent contribution than Belgian beer pwns all! in a non sarcastic way. As someone that loves near the source of all those godly nectars I can only confirm.
Westfleteren for all*
* Elected the best beer in the world
Westfleteren for all
No, no, it should be: All Westfleteren for AndresTheCunning!
:evil: :devil:
Muahahahaha!
Beer makes intelligent ~:cheers:
