12. invented/discovered/perfected
Don't know, don't care. It's the best thing people do, for sure.
Good of them to think of something completely selfish as the "best thing ever invented"

23. a cruel and jealous god...
:evilgrin:
Pretty much all of them come up with something that is a pleasure, not an essential. Something that has never saved lives, or benefited a large number of people in real way.
It's very indicitave of their world view and how they think.

Jealous god?
Best thing invented by mankind? velcro. :-)
-
What? No "free market capitalism" response?
-
Beer.
Next question?
-
Duct tape

In all seriousness -- the printing press.

Given how they live their lives, the correct answer should be "victimhood."

Well, it's close, but I'll have to go with fire. The wheel, inclined plane, and lever are pretty damned good, but fire just has quality of life enhancement going for it that the others can't beat.

Hmmm. Not sure that man invented fire - certainly discovered it but since it already existed in nature......

Right after agreeing with DAT's fire, I'd have to say that it's a toss up between properly aged, single-malt Scotch whiskey and Guinness.
After that it's a close race between the M1911 pistol and the Bowie knife.

Antibiotics.

God invented that one. We were just the beneficiaries.

You know, in all the books and magazines of anthropology and sociology that I've read, there seems to be a substantial plurality--not a majority, but a significant minority--who believe the amphora was the most useful thing invented by man.
It had to be invented; it wasn't anything that already existed that man finally figured out how to use, such as fire or penicillin.

While Reagan was a good President, he certainly wasn't the best. I can name a couple of things he allowed that certainly pissed ME off.

How did I miss this thread? My vote is steel.
If anyone paid attention in third-grade science, steel is the result of combining raw iron with carbon using heat. It's awesome stuff. :cheersmate:

Language
Man didn't invent that, though. Language was given to us...and when necessary, amended to multiple languages.

Huh? I assure you, Mankind invented language.
You know, that scene in 2001 was just fantasy, right?

So, when God walked with Adam and Eve in the Garden, they spoke together without language? You know Genesis is not fantasy, right?
