Really? I thought that China just made gunpower before anybody else. Actually, the Chinese invented gunpowder about the same time that.... oh jeez, what was it... not the japanese. Oh! I know. The Chinese to my knowledge invented gunpowder around 400BC, however, it was discovered in Europe(i believe Great Britain specifically) much furthur into the AD period (1700's-15oo's I'd think) but discovered separately. Niether had acess to anything dealing with the other's knowledge etc. concerning the stuff, but Magellen was introduced to it as well as silk when he made his historic trip to the Orient.

Either way, I think that's just about enough history for one thread.

Don't you mean Marco Polo? Didn't they both make round-the-world trips? I thought Magellan was first. *kisses Ty and reaches for a random bottle* *overbalances by a toenail and almost falls, kitty-screeching to the floor* *stands then takes a safer position away from the alcohol - curled up on Tymo's lap*

*moves hammer just before Vel would grab it like a matador whipping a cape out of in front of a bull, causing her to go tumbling into a pile of junk behind X* ;D Sometimes you're even weirder than me. Ah, who am I kidding? *something in the pile of junk explodes from being hit, sending old pieces of inventions flying into the air* I'm the weirdest guy here.
