*the greatest ever*

My colleagues and I did our usual distractions this morning and started chit-chatting about the random gobsmack one generally discusses when desperately trying to do something other than work...we landed on 'the greatest invention ever'.

Well, we all know that it's the wheel...unfortunately for big spenders like me it's not the wheel of fortune...how unlucky...it'd have gone a long way otherwise!

A few ideas from the folk are the following:
  • The pill (why yes, besides giving women the sexual freedom that we so desire, it could also be considered the symbolism for our indepedence from the patriarchal blah blah blah...it's good for not falling pregnant and gets the job done...*double tick*!
  • The condom...no arguments there!
  • Clocks!
  • Sex and the city...well, I do love Carrie and the girls and I wouldn't know what to do without their words of wisdom and fabulous wardrobes but how about sex and also the city...is better compromise?!?
  • Wine...*alcoholics anonymous would not exist without it and that would be such a shame*
  • Internet...without it we could not stalk, obssess over and find new love...okay seriously...it's like a library of everything...whatever you need to know we 'google it' or 'wiki it' and boom you have an answer for everything...*it's great in the midst of an argument with a real know it all*
  • Penicillin...without it we would not have McDreamy or McSteamy and would therefore not survive!
  • Wikipedia...the Information Age at its most intelligent!
  • Toilet Paper...god knows how Eve coped?!?
  • Takeaway coffee...or better, Vida...*obrigado*
  • Make up...let's be honest gentlemen, all those women who you do naughty things to or imagine having jockey clad pillow throwing girl fights with ALL have make up on!
  • Edward Cullen
  • The Printing Press...the words of Jane Austen, Shakespeare and Dr Seuss would never have been heard!
  • Electricity...without it we'd not have iPods, cellphones, electric toothbrushes and GHDs!
  • The Vuvuzela...nuff said!
Any ideas on what is the greatest invention that you could not live without?!?

Catch you on the flipside y'all!
