There's one. You asked for ONE THING.

He was an ethnic Serb, Poo. Why don't you go back to school.
So here's a famous Texan for you:
Ignacio Anaya (died 1975), also known by the shortened form of his first name as Nacho Anaya, was the inventor of nachos.
Anaya was living in Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico, across the border from Eagle Pass, Texas, USA, and working at El Moderno restaurant there, in 1943, when he invented nachos and served them at the restaurant as "Nachos Especiales".
The original form of nachos, as made by Nacho Anaya, included fried tortilla chips topped with melted cheese and jalapeños.
Anaya's son, Ignacio Anaya Jr., a retired banker, currently lives in Eagle Pass, Texas.
[/QUOTE]
You asked for something that came out of Croatia.
I fully understand that he wasn't Croatian, but he was indeed BORN THERE. And that is what you asked for, cowboy.
And I can certainly see how nachos were of greater importance than knowledge of electricity.
EDIT: I see you edited your previous post after my post about Nikola Tesla. How clever of you.

Well, if Poo's example doesn't count because of the ethnicity, then yours doesn't count either, because the guy you're mentioning is either Spanish, or a cross between Spanish and Aztec. Stop taking for Texas the credit that should be going to Mexico.[/QUOTE]
Uh, Raf, real Texans ARE mexicans, not white folks. Mexicans ARE a cross between Spanish and Aztec. They didn't want anything to do with the Spanish invaders OR the White settlers... that is until Santa Ana decided to wipe them out.

Poo, Wiki says he was a Serbian inventor, physicist, mechanical engineer, and electrical engineer.
Why don't they list him as a Croatian inventor? But it was an interesting life to read about, thanks! Enjoy the nachos.

I forgot to mention this one:
There are a lot of societes in Germany and Austria which nurture the tradition of Trenks Pandurs and when Germans shout : “Wir sind Kroaten, wir sind panduren”, then there is a good reason for it.
Usually famous generals get to vist the emperors...but Austrian one visited Trenk in his personal castle quite often...
