Answer 11

(Alexander Graham Bell didn't invent the telephone, he stole the patent as the actual inventor was too poor to afford it and died before he could manage it, kilts and haggis are roman and the first evidence of bagpipes is greek)

Elecrto-magnets, as far as I know, were developed by James Clerk Maxwell who also set the foundations for radios

Sir William Ramsey discovered the nobel gases

Joseph Lister was one of the first people to use antibiotics

Off of the top of my head you guys are also responsible for hypodermic needles, steam powered tricycles (which paved the way for motorbikes) beta-blockers and artificial kidneys
