Moggy are you still breastfeeding perchance ??

I think we have the Wright Brothers to thank for what I believe is the greatest invention of all time. Their ideas have been built upon and we now have a variety of flying machines which can destroy,

Thre is a lot of controversy over who flew the first aeroplane, the wright brothers were one group of many trying forthe same thing… and remember the Wright brothers aircraft was a tail first design and so less practical at the time. Though you could argue that it was quite forward looking for the time you could also argue that it was not going to become a practical aircraft till technology caught up…

My vote goes to the concept of miniturisation… in all things, from computerchips to cellphones.

Beer

American Patriot, Ben Franklin- “Beer is proof that God loves us.”

I believe that gunpowder was the most important invention in forming our world today. Noone knows who invented it or when, but it surfaced in history around the 1300s. Its an exact perportioned mixture of coal, sulfer and saltpetre, it wasnt till the 1880 that replacement gunpowders were developed. Some say the chineese invented it as they had fireworks before this (fireworks involve explosions, so that could be). But without it how would combat it the world have develped? Warships would have continued to have been built with castles for grapled hand to hand combat, and ramming would have contiued to be a naval tactic to be used by ships. On land the bow and arrow and crossbow would have remained as well as the sword and spear. Catapults would have remained as artillary which would not have been affective in makeing castles/fortresses obsolete. Can you imagine WW1 being fought by steel warships whos main design of attack is to ram? Tanks that could do nothing more than protect troops? No bombs in which to drop by airplanes. A very strange what if senario indeed.

I think we have the Wright Brothers to thank for what I believe is the greatest invention of all time. Their ideas have been built upon and we now have a variety of flying machines which can destroy, carry passengers/cargo and even fly themselves.

Sorry I have no idea what your talking about, I have never wore them, that was just a malicious rumour and unsubstantiated.

I love the giggle band on stockings !!!

Yeah. Stockings. I changed my mind. Ideal for robberies.

(seeing what they do to a gangsters face, why ever do women wear them? Apart from being guaranteed a shag?)

Stockings

Pants.

The wheel(without wheels what will u do with a jet engine?) and telephone.

Jet Engine

The jet engine – it shrunk the world , made foreign holidays accessible to Joe Bloggs and lets us fly over the entire world dropping bombs where we choose.

I’d go definitely for ….. vacations 🙂
