Don't know why I was thinking about this, but what would you consider the 5 greatest inventions of Mankind to be?
My 5 would be (in no particular order)
1) Internal Combustion Engine...allowed for the further development of all other engines
2) Computer...where would we 'really' be if everything were still done with pen/paper and a slide-rule?
3) Microscope...led to huge advances in medicine
4) Telescope...allows us to think beyond our world and see the nature of existance in which we live
5) Written language...self-explanatory

Never try to teach a pig to sing; it wastes your time and it annoys the pig
I've got to admit it's getting better, it's getting better all the time
