Top ten greatest inventions of all time

Top ten inventions of all time. I couldn't leave this one alone.

1) OF COURSE, the wheel. No elaboration needed the wheel is the original gangster of all inventions.

2) Silly putty- It bounces it stretches it takes pictures off of comics, it's just fun.

3) Antibiotics- without the invention of antibiotics we would not have the life expectancy that we have today or the comforts of life.

4) The combustion engine- this one invention has made travel more efficient and has made it possible for people to get places that would never have been possible otherwise. Maybe by horse but thats real slow!

5) Mountain Dew- This product has been helping people stay awake for longer work hours and more time with others since its invention not to mention it is the king of sodas.

6) Diamond Growth Chamber- This nifty little invention allows for a greater diamond to be produced. This is not just important to the jewelry industry, but diamonds are also used in drill bits and micro chips as well. Long after the worlds sources of natural diamonds have been depleted this gadget will allow industry and technology to go on.

7) Duct Tape- nothing further it is what hold the world together.

8) Internet- Never before has so many people been in contact at such a high speed of communication at the click of a mouse.

9) The Distillation Process- I know YAY beer! and that too as a matter of fact but the distillation process allows us a purer form of things that we should be able to enjoy without dying from bacteria.

And last but not least

10) The Slinky- Come on you know you like it, it walks up stairs, it walks downstairs it makes a slinkety sound a sling a sling a wonderful thing everyone loves a slinky.
