When was the last time you used a Portuguese electronic device?

A couple of months ago. One worked, one didn't. The one that worked turned out to be a made in china product with a portuguese label. The one that didn't work was the genuine article. And this was just with electric clocks..........
I am so proud.

Hey, man, look at the bright side: they make the best salted codfish in the world! But, when the program is fully implemented here, what are we gonna be left with to brag about? The best American Football in the world?

Don't undersell us,Tecumseh. We'll, probably, still have the best basketball as well.

Tecumseh said...

All right, all right. Hopefully, the best T-bone steaks, also. Though once HHS gets its tender sights set on tenderloins, forgeddaboutit.

Hey, Tecs! The jet engine is a Portuguese invention. OK, it's not electronic, but so what?

Henri Marie Coandă was not Portuguese. Still, foi um inventor e pioneiro da aerodinâmica romeno. Construiu o primeiro avião movido por um motor a jacto do mundo, o Coandă-1910 em 1910. Got that now?

Nope, Coanda wasn't Portuguese. If he was, he'd have been named Quandolinho.
