Seriously though, probably harnessing electricity as a light and energy source, but I dunno. Weve done a lot.

Natural discovery? Relativity.

To create fire? Sure, nice and all.

But to harness fire? The greatest invention.

EVERYTHING comes back to fire. Metal is formed by heat, wood is milled by machines powered by heat, etc.

The toilet.

Ponder this: where does man discover his greatest literary ideas? Where does man do his greatest thinking? The toilet.

Without this invention, no other inventions could have been created. The thought process would have been lacking.

Yeah. Can you imagine powering your pre-SP Game Boys with anything else?

I don't know how to be sexy. If I catch a girl looking at me and our eyes lock, I panic and open mine wider. Then I lick my lips and rub my genitals. And mouth the words "You're dead."

I'm gonna have to go with "sex" as the best invention of all time.

Because without them, I'd be just as bored at home, as I am at work!

Seriously? Computers. Computers have allowed us to advance, as a civilization, at an astronomical rate. Compare the advances we've had in the past 100 years. Look at how many things we've done since 1903. Then compare that with how many advances we've had between 1803 and 1903. Computers have allowed us to progress exponentially...
