The worst invention? That a damned perplexing question to ask someone who mulls the possibility of being a Luddite every time the server kicks out. How about a top ten list? 10-remote control car starters/locks. You're going to the bloody car anyway! What's the point? 9-The clapper. 8-The butterfly ballot. 7-electric blankets. I just know that the power companies had something to do with that. 6-Gas inserts for fire places. Why bother, It doesn't look right and it doesn't feel right. 5-cellular phones. They probably serve a purpose but I have to be allowed a rant here. 4-cow feed that is nothing more than ground up cow parts. It just ain't natural and even the cows know that. 3-Chemical warfare weaponry. Some people just have to be nasty and those are almost as nasty as it gets. 2-Biological weaponry. Just as nasty as number three with the added benefit of being much harder to detect and disapate and the number one most useless invention is (Drum roll, if you please Mr. Krupka.) Nuclear weapons. What the Hell were we thinking!!! There are enough nukes in the word to destroy the planet a thousand times over and now our government (The U.S.) wants to build another type to blow up underground bunkers. How about we ask the good people of Hiroshima if we didn't really screw the pooch there. Thank you , I now return you to your regularly scheduled rant already in progress Honorable mention, the TV. I mention it only because the potential for the TV has really been wasted. Kindest reguards, NEil
