What invention do you blieve was most important to mankind

[SeneNatten]

I think the greatest discovery in the history of the human species went something like this:

"Damn, I'm a weak little bugger with a lot of even weaker kids to feed. But maybe I can use what I've got more effectively against food that moves around and won't let me kill it. I mean, these thumbs aren't useful for anything except keeping women from running away from me... but maybe... Hey, look, a stick!"

Or, alternatively,

"Damn, I'm a weak little bugger with a lot of even weaker kids to feed. But maybe I can use what I've got more effectively. I mean, these thumbs aren't useful for anything ... and I really need to find a way to keep this guy from knocking me up so often... Hey, look, a stick!"

Fire was not "discovered", it was invented.

Thousands of years ago a woman started bitching to her husband about their cave being cold, and insisted that he "turn up the heat". He had no idea what the hell that meant, but he figured it out after awhile and came up with "fire".

It was another several centuries before man found out you could cook meat with it.

I think the internet should be up there as well. Though you may consider it as part of the destruction of man-kind as well. :?:

What about eggs?
I know it's not really an invention but I have to give a lot of credit to the guy that first said.. "Hey, look what just popped out of this chicken's ass. Think I'll eat it."

I'm allergic to penicillin, telephones, computers, and automobiles. The cotton gin makes me break out in hives, cameras steal your soul, the steam engine is a lie, the sewing machine was replaced by 5-year-olds with thimbles courtesy of Tommy Hilfigger and Wal-mart, and there actually is no lightbulb... just like there is no spoon.

I maintain my vote for the condom

lolololol, condoms were put here by SATAN right next to the dinosaur bones he planted here to trick us! lolololool

Beer.


Beer is one of the world's oldest beverages, possibly dating back to the early Neolithic or 9000 BC, and is recorded in the written history of ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia. The earliest Sumerian writings contain references to a type of beer. A prayer to the goddess Ninkasi, known as "The Hymn to Ninkasi", serves as both a prayer as well as a method of remembering the recipe for beer in a culture with few literate people.

Yah Beer has actually contributed to all of mankind since forever, it kept sailors sane no month long journeys, it helped win wars, keep hope during the cold winters, and make you drunk enough to get on a boat and sail to far off lands and engage ina land war with the indiginous people you find.... and win.

I'd say the contraceptive pill - without it we'd be knee deep in kids and poverty. Feck condoms - they're sh!t (in a long term relationship).

Secondly - beer.

I can do without pretty much everything else.
