The rep system

 

Very true!

The Toothbrush. None of the other so-called 'concepts' even comes close to this one.

I lied.

 

Twin-ply toilet paper.

 

Okay... actually any ply toilet paper is the greatest and bestest invention of any kind whatsoever. Ever.

 

Try camping unprepared if you're in disagreement.

The firearm.

 

Wait, wait, here me out.

 

I was watching King Kong the other day, and I realized that humans are really PATHETIC as animals.

 

I had this image of two cavemen sitting around a fire.

 

"Ug?"

"Yeah Krug?"

"You know how we almost got eaten by that saber tooth tiger today?"

"Yeah-heh. Wow. That sucked ***."

"I'm just thinking. We better get cracking on guns and weapons, or we are boned."

 

The gun is really the ultimate expression of "Tiger, I'll take your claws and raise you one automatic high velocity rifle."

 

Arrows, knives, etc, are all basically the same thing. People don't have claws, we decided we needed them, so we made them for ourselves.

 

Okay, so not the GUN in particular, but the idea of a weapon that isn't part of your body - the club or whatever. Weapons are what allowed a few savanna dwellers to run a Giraffe to death and then spear it till it died and they could eat it.

 

I just got done watching Jared Diamond.

Yeah - weapons!

 

Which is simply an extention (or expression, if you will) of our amazing brains!

 

Without our brains, we would have been some critter's dinner long ago.

 

Good call, brains.
