@Sage

I was being sarcastic. (I don't think we invented that either, but we do use it a lot. )

Chair? What about the measurements of the tracks on the vehicle that transports the space shuttle to the launch pad, you have the Romans to thank for that!

Anyway, do you know what would happen if America would collapse? Do you realise in what kind of a state the world would be in? There would be a pretty huge recession.

lets think. Now, this may be entirely wrong, but heres what i think would happen.

The world economy collapses, most countries rely on our imports/exports and the money we give them. Countless people lose their jobs and the world goes into darkness... Riots happens, revolutions, general chaos.

North Korea invades South Korea with the aid of China (south korea having lost its support (the US)). Due to the current tangle of alliances we would have another world war. Because of new weapons advancements we would possible have the end of the world. Have fun with that.

Thats just one possibility.

One hell of a celebration.

@Sage

The lightbulb was invented by an American, but he was using ideas other people had formulated as the basis of his work; we can probably trace every invention in history back to a few people; mostly of Middle and Far Eastern origin.

As for my superpowers, they are entirely British, hence the reason they tend not to work very well and cost a fortune to use.

@Sage

Regarding the apocalyptic scenario you envisage; after the Wall Street crash of 1929 the world went into recession and as an indirect result there was another world war. However, the world coped and things got back to normal; the situation is very different today, not the least because the U.S. is being overtaken as the dominant economic power e.g. the EU already has a larger combined economy than the U.S. and both China and India look set to become larger economies than the U.S. in the very near future.
