Greatest Invention Ever?

Remove all ads!

Maybe it's just the fact that it's going to be 100 degrees today...But I think the greatest invention ever...Is the ice maker!!!

'Cause I like cold beverages, uh huh!

What do you think is the greatest invention ever?

 

Serious answer would have to be the Printing Press.

The answer that I can't get out of my mind is the Adam-ah, or Woman. Leave it to God to take a simple rib and create such a versitile invention that can cook, clean, do laundry and much much more! Give the MAN an Nobel Prize or something!

Now . . . combine your favorite - an ice maker and cold drinks, with my favoite - the woman, and you have a real party going!

 

Hard to select one and put it among the other important inventions,
but i think the steem-machine as first power device beside muscle power
and starting shot to industrial revolution.

Maybe it's the phonograph as well to support the party of Bel.

Math you don't see women as a device, or do you?
*shocked breathtaking*

Yeah its supposed to get to over 95 and humid here today, which makes me think of something better than the ice-maker.

The BIKINI!

 

does written language count? after that, id say the phone, then the computer.

 

In modern times I'd have to vote for the steam engine as well. It provided power for building, transport, digging, and factory work. The other concept that came close would be the use of electric power.

 

If you ask me, which you did, I would say that you haven't gone far back enough. What about the wheel or the simple lever? Without these, except for women and the bikini, all the other inventions would not be. Although the Bikini in its current form would not be as it is made from cloth which is made on mechanical looms.

 

hmm lets see... NOT the elevator...lol

I must say the greatest invention ever was the computer! Otherwise how would i have ever survived.. no sp no baldurs gate *shudder*

 

Toilet paper.

 

I must say the ability to use and harness the fire. Without that almost all of todays technology wouldnt have existed. Without fire no steamengine no combustion engine no nothing almost all the technological gadgets of today would be nullified if we wouldnt have been able to use fire.
And worst of all NO BARBECUE!

 

We did not invent fire.

 

Language. Communication. The power of the spoken and then the written word.

 

Just got back from the world games. On a day like today the greatest invention would definately be a tall frosty glass of long island iced tea!

On any other day it would have to be the wheel.

 

Let me present the greatest invention of all:

Dam dam da!!!! ME!!!!

Anyway, one of the greatest inventions of humankind has to be religion. To invent something abstract, and then make everyone belive it has to be one of the biggest achievement of mankind. Remember, that only a few decades did people actually take religeon serious!! (I know, that some people still does, but the majority has a far more relaxed relation with religion!)

 

You're all wrong, the greatest invention is... the RICE COOKER!!

So many people have one, and without it so many people wouldn't be eating rice.

 

The greatest invention of all, mother of countless more great inventions: Guiness

 

You are talking about the beer aren't you??

My opinion would have to be lens. I would hate running around half-blind all the time.

 

Here's *my* TOP 10 best inventions

• 10 School, since its summer, Im beginning to miss school for some weird reason. Probably cuz I got nothin' to do except watch movies, play DDR, hang out and sit in front of the computer. Gives me something to worry about in life, well for now. It also makes me smart and gives me a social life, well until I get a job
• 9 Soccer/Judo, what do I do after school(or free time)! Nooo!!!!!
• 8 Phone, can't talk to my relatives w/o em
• 7 Man, Im a man. But I honestly can't put men before women, cuz I am not gay and I kind of think gay people are GROSS, Present company excluded
• 6 Women, can't repopulate the earth without em
• 5 Printing Press, how are you supposed to make those pamphlets that teach you how to play games or use computers. Oh yea, books too.
• 4 Television, I'd say TV it informs me on new movies and keeps me busy for hours
• 3 Computer/Internet, now how do we play Baldur's Gate II or talk in this chat room without computers. Also gotta satisfy my pleasures w/ porn. j/j
• 2 Automobile, how does anybody get around without cars nowadays, well unless you wanna move two yards or go next door.
• 1 Atom Bomb, Well, i now some of you are Japanese, but since im from hawaii. The A-BOMB is MY friend, not yours. W/o this great invention the Japanese might have even invaded Hawaii! NOOO

Well heres *my* list. Ehehehe

 

Doesn't Japan own like 90% of Hawaii now anyway? Didn't need an invasion to get it either.

I think the wheel would be my serious pick...It makes the world go 'round!

Uggh, that was bad.....Sorry all for subjecting you to bad early morning humor.
