Lol. Just a touch before my time pal, I don't know! We English seemed to have done a lot, like colonise most of the world, so we may have invented a few things but probably weren't the best at them. Our executions seemed to be more hangings than head choppings I think.
Hmm. Most of the world was already colonized by the time the English decided to leave their island...
There's a funny fact about the English trying to 'colonise' what was already colonised.
"Sabrina Island was an islet formed during the months of June and July 1811 by a submarine volcanic eruption off Ponta da Ferraria, São Miguel Island, Azores, one of many that have been felt in the Sete Cidades Massif over time. The first person to land in the new island was Commander James Tillard, captain of the British warship HMS Sabrina, who hoisted the Union Jack on the island and claimed sovereignty for Great Britain. A diplomatic row over the issue ensued, which the island's sinking back into the sea rendered moot."
