I don't know if I'd say the computer or the internet.

But then there's always Chocolate Lucky Charms. :smokin:

language

not sure if language, not being a phyical thing, can be an invention.... but I don't know, maybe it is. anywhoo I'd say writing. but really there's a lot of essential inventions out there. my personal favorite is music

None of those are physical items.

Anyways, I second the printing Press or the wheel. Possibly the firearm.

"That's easy. Antiseptics. Like the whole sanitation thing. Joseph Lister, 1895. Before antiseptics, there was no sanitation, especially in medicine."

Tee hee. :)

Don't know the quote? Pity.

invent: 1. to create by thought, to make or design (something that did not exist before).


does it need to be a physical object? any thoughts?

Fuckin' genius beachguy...

Best invention ever? Surely it's just life itself... - not that I want to steal your thread man, and turn it into a theological debate...

Toilet paper. Just think how often we'd need to buy new underwear without it.

Fire...without fire none of the other things mentioned would have come to be.

I love being so effing wise.

Good call... I love Sushi. But it still takes fire to steam the rice.

my favorite is the internet, sure pennacillin was a great thing but thats all played out haha its been at the top for far too long, like the president it only has a certain number of terms

I only care about the fish.
So, more specifically sashimi.
HA!
See! No cooking required.

Still need fire to temper the steel to spear the fish and slice it ever so gently...but I guess you win Smeagol. :)

Smokey Bear
02-23-2006, 05:37 AM
Yes I do.
Because I would just tie a sharp rock to a stick, and use same sharp rock to slice out sashimi goodness.
Haha.

oh man... I am so sick and tired of God getting the credit for that all the time. You know, it's not like I want to brag or anything, I don't run around saying to people "Do you know who I am? I'm the one who invented fire. yeah, that's right." That's just not me. But all the same, God had no right to take credit...

Nah, not a computer. People lived for thousands of years without one.

I'd say the toothbrush.

Or the condom.
