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.

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)
