I would be more inclined to believe Matt Newsome: The Early History of the Kilt

I think someone is just jealous of the Scots.

Well, it's semi-interesting. After all, thanks to Jules Verne, we know the English were the first to go to the moon, too.

Uhm, can we counter claim that pants and underwear were invented by *ahem*, lesser men?

However, it doesn't really matter in the skeem of things. Clearly we have one individual tryin to make a difference and a career by stirring the pot. Whatever the motive, He is allowed to feel how he wants and say how he feels, and we are all aloud to laugh at his statements with the same sentiment.

Laughter is fun. Maybe it's just a really poor french joke he's tryin to pull.

Probably not. If one believes that pants/trousers are descended from the Celtic breccae or Gaelic triubhas (trews), than they were certainly created by men just as great! Not sure about undies, though...

The author died five years ago.
I do think he had been trying to stir controversy, but believe the publishers decided to use wisdom. I hold that the estate found an unscrupulous printer.
The book is egregious.

i'm sure scots would of gotten to it but he just beat em to it.

Ah yes the famous Rawlinson argument, this one has been tossed out there time and time again. Personally I like what Matt Newsome has to say on the matter.
