I am not saying that Sabre's source is wrong - but looking up Velcro's company history and everything. They say it's a Swiss Invention oddly enough?!?!

Its not the only invention in that post that is somewhat... disputable...
But if one have the need to publicly cite ones heritage in combination with what can only be described as narcisistic boasting then I imagine bothering with facts isn't too high on the priority list.
/Mr.F - Feeling somewhat ...disgusted

An American Reply to Canadian Pride:
1. Mmn, chalk!
2. Not bad, actually
3. Compensating much?
4. If it's so great that Canada invented it, how come they only have two teams?
5. Lacrosse was a Native American sport first.
6. Eh? Hoosier!
7. Then play it right, you dolts!
8. Chinese food is American. Go figure.
9. Who?
10. All pale in comparison to Krispy Kreme!
11. Whose monarch surrendered?
12. You're proud of that?
13. You just said you withdrew from the U.S. after burning Washington, D.C.
14. You guys were too drunk to unite.
15. You should've known better than to hire just one mercenary.
16. So you're to blame for why no one knows what time it is, then?
17. Too bad they got drunk and lost all their pelts.
18. Which is why we use snow mobiles - all they eat is gas.
19. Eat them, tan them, sell them to tourists!
20. Doesn't seem to stop you from inbreeding.
21. Why don't you make them, instead of letting China do it all?
22. You mean you're a collective of idiots who didn't notice the other guy do it?
23. An American creation killed him, THEN brought him back.
24. Couldn't read the numbers, could you?
25. At least you know what beer is, I give you that.
26. Can you open the can with those mitts on, Nanuk?
27. *cough you'd have to hit something first, in order to bomb it cough*
Hehe... I just couldn't resist. Not that I find anything wrong with Canada - I've never personally been there, so I wouldn't know anything but the screwy crap I read. I just can't stop being sarcastic, though.
