You're dense, Zen Master.
You didn't make a joke. You just strung together several mumbles of poorly connected thoughts.
cry about it?
Music , it has saved lives :)
Fireworks :D
Lol, yeah, what he said.
Religion is the greatest invention. The best mind-control tool ever created.
Religion wasn't always mind-control. Once it was used just to explain the unknown.
Boredom is the greatest invention of mankind. Nothing would have been invented without someone 1st thinking i'm bored... what happens if i do this?
hot dogs filled with cheese will always be my favorite invention by man, other than that, topless beaches
the hookah best invention ever :)
the toilet gets my vote
The interwebz
String. Instruments, kites, mending, fishing, bikini, cat traps, yo-yo's, the universe.......
The best of the best.
If the best is the interwebz, then the best of the best would be zombo.com.
Yep, I think that zombo.com is the greatest Invention of Mankind.
nukes......... greats things that have created peace to many many countries.. except that small few
Does Justin Bieber count?
This has already been said but its what I think is the best by far: the Internet.

Wasn't there a newspaper article in England on this? Where those questioned just named random everyday things like toilet paper?
Anyway.. my vote goes on the smiley faced potato things :p
greatest Invention of Mankind are
Wheel.
and
Moulding iron..
Snuggie. HANDS DOWN.
My personal favourites.
Laryngaphone, 1929. A device adapted to really annoy the crap out of people via phone, yes it had an earpiece so you could hear, however the mouthpiece was fashioned/adapted to fit the throat to convey messages
Honourable mention also to the Comb Cap 1920 (only patented never produced) which concealed an inbuilt comb under the brim so that when the cap was removed your hair was automatically combed through.
So far this race's one core invention is money.
Everything in this society stems from it now...
...Peanut Butter Best Invention
I'm thinking it may be fire, as fire lead to the invention and use of many other things.
Other than that, it could be the internet, as it allows so many people to communicate over such a small amount of time, yet such a large distance.
Resisting the temptation to comment on any of the sidetracked topics and not buying into ideas being inventions, which rules out some huge discoveries such as math, the value of pi, etc. I'd probably have to agree that the wheel is the greatest with molten iron, steel, paper and the printing press being in the top five in no particular order.
To those who said the internet, etc.; as much as it's changed the world, I just don't agree it's the greatest.
Side Note: A few years back there was an interview in one of my local papers with a very old lady. I think she was 110 and it was probably in 2000 because the gist of the article was about how much things had changed in the 20th century. Anyways, part of the interview went something like this:
Reporter
Of all the wonderful inventions in the last century, airplanes, cars, rockets, etc., which do you think was the greatest?
Old Lady
the electric iron. She then went on to describe the involved process on "wash day" of planning the time when the fire could be used, (not interfering with meals) heat up the iron and on and on.
They've been predicting the paperless office since before the desktop was even thought of. I'm still waiting. ;)
Birth Control.
(Who wants the Latex anyway?)
best invention?? thats easy, the bendy straw!!!
so many unspilt drinks and so many neck sprains prevented.
truly a life changer
Don,
I wasn't disagreeing with what you said about the written word, just making an observation about no more paper. Yes, it is certainly conceivable, I might even say likely someday, but what we've found so far is that people want a hard copy of important stuff. I have a feeling that if it ever changes, it won't be for a long long time and the creation of much a more secure means of retention.
You do make a good point about the written word.
Ignoring thread. If fire or something to make fire in a controlled fashion or whatever that would be the most important.
If not the Wheel is easily the most important invention in the history of mankind.
it has to be boob implants
