Oh well then the transistor should be on the top of every list.

The Stone Age doesn’t interest me.. 😛

Well, the transistor makes computers, televisions, microwaves, most electronic car parts, all digital electronics, damn near all electronics, possible. Without it, we’d still be living in the stone age.

Transistor radioâ€”definitely. Almost as crucial as batteries. Without those, like would be awfully boring.

The transistor has to be the greatest invention of the 20th century. Without it, so much would not be possible.

Then, of course, there are batteries. I-pods, cellphones, laptops and a host of other devices rely upon these to fuel our portable lives.

that’s all I can think of right now.

Oh shut up Grampaâ€”we all remember freakin’ Yosemite Sam. We’re younger than you, but we aren’t that young. 😛

And if any of you are to young to remember Yosemite Sam, then y’all can just go fuck yourselves.

OK, fresh bread is good for tearing off in hunks.. but eww on the bloody red meat. Just, gag. HOWEVER, sliced bread is excellent for PB&J sandwiches. And it’s hard to toast giant hunks of bread evenly.

Coffee bean grindersâ€”ah yes. Much better than the days of yore.. and a mortar and pestle.

You too with the Pez? Sheesh. Children. 😛

Pez is one the greatest inventions of all time. I used to have this wonderful Yosemite Sam Pez head dispenser. I loved that thing.

Sliced bread sucks. Bread is only for tearing off in big hunks, preferably to wipe the blood running down your chin from eating bloody red meat.

Coffee bean grinders.

Oh yes definitely on the printing press, Anne. 🙂 And I love my bed tooâ€”it’s a waveless waterbed. Ahhhhh….

IPOD! Of course, of course.. and I am quitting the ciggies. I swear. They are bad for me. 🙂

Pez? ROTFL. But we are in agreement re: the bread and the air conditioners…but pez? lol
