The best invention ever.
Well what is it?
What if taken away would be a huge loss to you or humanity.
Clearly the mobil phone...or maybe the v8 engine..maybe money...
Now be sensible like me and present your choice.

The Newtonian Telescope thanks to Sir Issac Newton
I wouldn’t swap my newts for anything
What an incredible simple effective design by one of the greatest minds in history
The humble wheel is right up there too
Without the wheel, humanity wouldn’t have progressed at all. Everything we do and have done through the ages in one way or another relates to the invention of the wheel.

Well these sort of threads get you thinking so I thank whoever started it.
And after thinking about this something occurred to me that is so simple I nearly did not think of it..but it is probably the most important thing in our history and that without it we may never have achieved anything, not the wheel or even cheese...
It is cooking.
Without cooking it seems our brains would not have developed...

I had a tooth abscess a few years ago. I had a thought while in the Dentists chair. The 3 A's Antiseptics, Anaesthetics and Antibiotics. We would have bumbled through as a species without a lot of things. Without those life would have been a lot more painful, brutish and short.

I went to the dentist with a terrible abscesses, she lectured at Uni and asked if she could take photos to show the students, I agreed and asked why...she said its the second largest she had ever seen and the larger one was on a dead man. She said that I very lucky that it had not killed me. Again I am just so very lucky.

Something I can not now live without..my little telescopic back scratcher...not only to scratch myself but it is so handy to drag something out of reach to enable you to pick it up.
