In all seriousness, the French have contributed a lot to society.

Did you know that the French were the first people to have toilets? I'm not kidding, it's a French invention. Just a few decades later, the Americans picked up on the idea, but with a small change: they put holes in the middle.

Now that WAS a good idea ... and the French also developed what was thought to be the "perfect kiss", well, that was until the Aussies improved upon it and put it ... (are you ready for this one?) ... Down Under!
