    I think the greatest discovory is that germs cause disease. Best inventions are anti-biotics and microscopes, the telescope; thank you Galaleo, and mathematics too; thank you arabia.

    I think the worst invention/inventions ever are all torture devices, jails, and mental hospitals.

    Trust me, it hurts, A LOT. It hurts just as bad coming out. Can you believe I read in "Men's Health", that they recomend using one at ballgames so you don't have to get up and from your tailgate party or miss the game. I think it was tounge and cheek though. I think they put one in to keep me from walking around. Or maybe it was to get the toxins out of my body from all the pills I took.

    1. Plastic is the best invetion.

    2. Plastic is the worst invention.

    fire cant be the best invention because i wasnt invented but discovered.
    but i agree with money being the worst because if you think about it money has led to greed and want of power which led to war.
    the best invention was equality, which unfortunitly has faded away.

    peace

    Greatest: Dental Improvements (Increased average lifespan and comfort of living a great deal)

    Worst: The Green Revolution (Modern practice uses lots of petroleum, and increased crop production by 300% which increased Earth's population carrying capacity to near dangerous levels, and allowed for much larger farms with the advent of machinery that rape biodiveristy and deplete soil nutrients)

    Best: Printing press

    Worst: N-ray detector

    Ignorance, hate, racism and foolishness (like fire) are not inventions. They are our natural condition. (Well, maybe not foolishness)
