    4 great inventions of the British Empire:
    The Steam Engine (Thomas Savery, Thomas Newcomen, James Watt/Matthew Boulton, it's hard to pin it down to one single engineer)
    The Steam Turbine (Charles Parsons)
    Electric Motors (Michael Faraday)
    The World Wide Web (Tim Berners Lee)
    and here's 4 slightly Tongue-in-Cheek items for the list:
    The Chocolate Bar (Joseph Fry)
    Soda drinks (Joseph Priestley)
    Lawnmowers (Edwin Budding)
    Collapsible Baby Buggies (Owen Maclaren)
    This is highly debatable; The Daily Telegraph lists about 50 odd British Inventions which could easily have a good case made for it as "the most important". My top 4 is just an opinion.

    Fun Fact for Kids: You can technically make parchment or paper out of anything. If you look up the definition it mentions wood but also includes, "any fibrous material." They say this because historians have found paper made out animal hide, reeds, cotton, and other extremely unorthodox very strange stuff. Some Latin American Indians made paper out of human skin for example. That is just a tip of the iceburg. If you do some research or visit a museum showing the different ways paper were made you'll see the various strange material used from every part of the globe.

      @@jorgenajar9407 No, no, technically the design of the katana..is confusing. Japan did have single edged swords back in the olden days, but kind of bore a resemblance to the katana, while others say that the katana mainly got its design from Tang dynasty china where you'd have the Tang dao. It's confusing.
