"Ask a Russian where television, fashion shows, hip-hop or hieroglyphs were invented and you will no doubt hear - in Russia. Believing in the Russian genius is an essential feature of the Russian mentality. That is why no Russian was surprised when we found out with the help of Lenta.ru the Internet in general, and blogging in particular, was, if not invented, at least predicted by a Russian back in 1837."

No, no, you read some history.
A brazilian priest filled a patent requeriment in Italy a few years before Marconi's demonstration, both used the waves to transmit the little blinking lights.
By the way, brazilians invented the really most apreciated things...
*Samba(the music, not the smb share)
*Daily baths
*Cachaça(if you never tried it, run to a liquor store!)
*Airplanes (before thinking about Wright Brothers, remember that they used horses (!) once a time and never made a public demonstration, while Santos Dumont flew around Paris)
*Barbecues
And the list goes on and on and on
Post scriptum: I am brazilian
Post post scriptum: I'm not proud of any country, what an uncivilized concept!
