I thought that said "camel wafers". Of course they eat haggis...

If chili dogs are a us invention, thank you uncle sam.

 

[Ivan Seeking]

Many from the central US will tell you that little hamburgers called "Sliders" are the greatest contribution of all.

Several pipes attached to the same sac??
That's freakish, IMO.

I thought the motion picture camera was credited to Louis Lumiere, a frenchman.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Lumiere

I wasn't talking about the camera, but rather the feature-length film. Even if you just want to talk about the technology itself, though, Edison invented the kinetoscope, which was the type of camera/projector actually used by the motion picture industry, and he was the first to synch film with sound, creating the talking motion picture.

That's interesting, but how do you credit skyscraper's to someone? Buildings have been getting higher since someone first put branches and leaves over a pair of bamboo sticks.

The true skyscraper was not possible until steel-framed buildings were introduced. The first ever was in Chicago, and the subsequent race between Chicago and New York to see who could build the most skyscrapers essentially created the modern vertical city.

What is in a," slider", that makes it so good?

Onions...meat with five little holes and a bun. Basic...I don't know about good. I guess if you want a hamburger they are ok. I would take IN N OUT over While Castle any day.

Well, I don't think anyone has ever said they were "good". It's a mystery why anyone eats them. They're infamous. Many people fear "sliders" (White Castle hamburgers). I was told that they're nicknamed sliders because they give you diarhea (they "slide" out of you). Don't know if that's the real reason.

There are much tastier hamburgers at other places.

I've never had a "slider," but I don't like how (at least the White Castle ones) are like half onions.

Oh, those "sliders" are really good..

 

[wolram]

They do not look very nice, is there any real meat in them?
I had a Mc donalds burger one time, never again.
but per chance they are different where you live.

Sliders are mini-hamburgers that are steam cooked with onions. Other names for them include{but not limited to} gut bombs and belly busters.
And no, I don't care for them very much, they are really greasy

Wouldn't a Krystal burger qualify as a slyder?

I can't wait to hear the logic behind this one.

...

Oh wait, brewnog. Logic! What was I thinking?!
