Best Invention of All Time?
Just been watching the channel4 pre-programme bit with all the actors/presenters/personalities giving their two penneth on the greatest invention ever; thought it would make a decent thread!
I have to agree with Paul O'Grady's choice - the tea bag
What do you think?

Re: Best Invention of All Time?
As much as I like my tea, and if i'm addicted to anything it is tea, I opt for the wheel, because without the wheel, they'd never get enough tea over here for me, although without boats it wouldn't be here at all.

Instant hot showers. I'm grumpy unless I can have a nice warm/hot shower in the mornings.

Re: Best Invention of All Time?
The internet of course. The knowledge it brings together is a god send, and it's doing well in letting the chinese be less censored (Yes the government have tried to censor the net, but theres many ways around it)
