I remember studying for the UK citizenship exam.

For their scientific contributions, they tried to take credit for work done in international collaborations in Canada and Switzerland (when one team member had UK citizenship).

All the while, neglecting their own truly remarkable contributions to science, such as cryogenic freezing of hamsters and reanimation via microwaves.

It was truly sad, to see a people with such profound ignorance of of some of their best contributions to science, and such profound vanity and lack of self-awareness that they thought trying to claim credit for work supported by other nations was a good idea.
