Porno by far is the greatest invention by man. Followed by the internet. Followed by Nintendo.

Irony is a beautiful thing. If it weren't a product of language, I'd vote that it was itself the greatest (or at least most beautiful) invention.

 

 

 

That, in essence, is how I was going to respond, only you beat me to it.

 

 

 

The best invention overall would be the wheel, think about it for a moment, imagine cars using rocks to roll around on, hell, to an extent computers wouldn't even be possible.

Toilet paper. Just imagine your life without it :ohnoes:

 

 

 

The Romans managed pretty well.... :

umm, look at the first page, it doesn't have to be made by people...

I'm going to say it,then sloganise it.

 

 

 

Internet-Now I can be sarcastic to people all over the damn world!

 

Pyrotechs-Because just setting it on fire is not enough.(Blow it up!)

 

Dylan-What's wrong with loving yourself?I know you do it tons.

Well at least they had flushing toilets I suppose.

The third millennium B.C. was the "Age of Cleanliness." Toilets and sewers were invented in several parts of the world, and Mohenjo-Daro circa 2800 B.C. had some of the most advanced, with lavatories built into the outer walls of houses. These were "Western-style" toilets made from bricks with wooden seats on top. They had vertical chutes, through which waste fell into street drains or cesspits.

I believe the flushing toilet was invented in 1513 by Thomas Crapper. Thus, the crapper. :P

Computers we're that revolutionary. It was the MIRCOPROCESSOR that revolutionised the world.

Me.

 

 

 

/thread.

 

 

 

Seriously though, I would have to say the greatest invention was footwear and fire. With footwear, we could walk farther, over more diverse terrain, and not have to worry about our feet. It allowed us to travel farther to gather up more resources and those resources eventually turned into something.

Electricity. So many things are run on electricity it's crazy. Production lines, houses, hospitals, computers, etc. Every time the power goes out where I live, I get really bored. Most of todays technology is run on electricity and without it we'd be screwed.

 

 

 

I know whnat you mean; but we didn't invent electricity- we discovered it.

Indeed. He invented it for the British queen I think. Romans had toilets that let you sit on top then water collected from a rain gutter would be washed through the sewer and through a tunnel to the river.

 

 

 

I remember when I read about Mohenjo-Daro in school, best day in that class ever. That was interesting.

Thomas P. Crapper (baptised 28 September 1836 - 27 January 1910) was a plumber who founded Thomas Crapper & Co. Ltd. in London. Despite the urban legend, Crapper did not invent the flush toilet (the myth assisted by his surname). However, Crapper did much to increase its popularity and came up with some related inventions. He was noted for the quality of his products and received several Royal Warrants. The manhole covers with Crapper's company's name on them in Westminster Abbey are now a minor tourist attraction.

Wow, I was 90% sure that he invented it. Thought I heard that somewhere. Oh well, thanks for correcting me :P.

 

 

 

EDIT: Found what probably confused me:

 

1596: Sir John Harington is said to have invented 'The Ajax', a forerunner to the modern flush toilet, for Elizabeth I of England, who wouldn't use the contraption because it made too much noise. His design was ridiculed in England, but was adopted in France under the name Angrez. The design had a flush valve to let water out of the tank, and a wash-down design to empty the bowl.

factories and machinery that can produce items in mass quantities with little time and little effort. this just makes our lives so much easier.

Just to add on to this potty business...I read some where a flushing toilet was found in Greece,and dated back to before (well,Rome) 1500+

My vote goes to boring old electricity.

 

I would not do well without it.

Buttered Toast.

 

 

 

Though seriously, the best thin has to be the computer in general.

 

 

 

Without it, alot of today's great stuff wouldn't exsist.

 

 

 

 

 

Sliced Bread!

And boats and planes.

 

Nothing like being restricted to sea-planes without wheels...

 

 

 

although, cogs would've come in handy also. Makes you wonder how most early mechanics would've worked without them.

The thermos. It keeps hot things hot, and cold things cold. HOW DO IT KNOW.

 

 

 

Points if you know the reference.
