What do you think was the best invention and why? I would like to say that the wheel, being revolutionary in the way it has been used for transportation.
The Atom Bomb, in that so far, it has ended all wars since it was use, now before all you people get up in arms about saying it ended wars, think about this. There has been *Conflicts* since the Atom bomb, but never full on *War*.
How did it end the Falklands war, or the Vietnam war? While we're at it what about all the civil wars in Africa?

Penicillin, don't think it really needs justification.
I'm allergic; the zipper does me more good.

And the best invention in my mind? primitave weapons. We wouldn't have gotten here without 'em.
Oddly enough I'm allergic too o_O

The Toilet. I think we all know why.
what a clean post Armored prayer *smile*
My friend wrote a High School story in his Creative Writing class, about a little boy who was afraid of the talking toilet, because the toilet told him he would eat him if he tried to use him, the story goes on, and the boy faces his fears and uses it, and my friend ended the story with "As it turns out, the toilet bowl was full of shit." - He got a D for using the word "Shit".

Semi-conductors. Pretty much all of todays technology more complicated than the combustion engine is based one way or another on semi-conductor technology.

Written word and antibiotics are pretty close seconds. I know for a fact that I would have died at least twice in my life, with absolute certainty, without antibiotics.

Don't forget the Korean war....but some of those conflicts were badly handled thus making them look as bad as a full scale war of 2+ nations. It has acted as a deterrent for modernized nations.

I'll have to think about the best for awhile, but definately up there on my list would be the knife. Doing my job without one would be way more difficult. Also, the gas burner on the stovetop. Being able to control fire makes it way easier to cook as well.
