This was an email that was forwarded to me by a friend who spent over 6 years as a POW at the Hanoi Hilton.

I’d say one of the 2 most important inventions must be toilet paper. I’ve never had a good experience in a country that doesn’t commonly have it.

I’d add to that list air conditioning and indoor plumbing.

Maybe not the ‘top’ ones, but I nominate the activated sludge sewage treatment method and analysis of statically indeterminate structures.

I’m listening to a country radio station on the Echo, and had this song as a soundtrack while I read this post:

Ray Scott, “Drinkin’ Beer.”

Flushing toilets allowed cities to grow and high rises to exist. I consider it an invention that changed society.

Guinness is my favorite beer. I also enjoy some of the seasonal beers, as well as the small ones from Sam Adams, like Cream Stout.

No. #2: The wheel. #1: The flush toilet.

Real beer was liquid bread:

Cheap, antiseptic, nutritious.

Monks drank it because they were poor.

Filtered, pasteurised, modern so-called beer is not that invention.

What a silly thread.
Every body knows what the correct answer is, hands down.

The thermos bottle.

Punch line : How do it know?

In all seriousness, beer was one of the greatest discoveries of man. One of the oldest examples of writing that exists is a Sumerian tablet that contains a recipe for beer. Not only does the production of beer encourage farming and other useful arts, the process of beer production, and the alcohol contained therein kills bad microbes. For most of man's history it has been safer to drink beer than water, especially in cities. Therefore beer enabled us to live together in larger groups than might otherwise be the case.

Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.
