the greatest inventions of all time

here's a list of my favorite inventions of all time...some of my buds who happened to be around when i picked them were incredulous that i didn't chose things like “hammer” so i could build a house (i decided that wasn't so important because a house can be woven from thatch or something) or the ever important “toaster”...so, right or wrong these are my most loved inventions




number 1 on my list...written language





number 2...microsoft’s surface...man, when are they going to release this thing for home use?




number 3...sailing...there's just something about the ocean...i really think i was named aptly...my name means ‘guardian of the sea’



number 4...or this could really be 3b...modern scuba diving...the most sublime activity humans can participate in



number 5...or is it 4?...anyways, what did people do before you could capture an image just as it is? cave painting, really?



number 6...maybe 5...mmm, cars *swoon*



number 7/6...tea...what a happy accident



okay, time to clarify the numbers...this one is definitively 7b...herbs and spices...if you don't appreciate proper seasoning of food, go live in london for a while...you'll understand how important a little seasoning is



number 8...karaoke...though this invention is a double edge sword...as wonderfully fun as karaoke is, the first time you hear some tone deaf alto try to sing celine dion you start to wonder if it's a good idea after all



number 9...tivo...never care when a show comes on again



number 10...the ipad...no, i don't have one yet...but it's the evolution of the e-reader and the tablet pc...i so need one

lemons...mmmm...


i had an irresistible urge to put this picture first for no apparent reason



lemon drinks are tasty...i think i may use this adjective too much when talking about lemons!



a lemon emigrant...i assume it's a type of butterfly (not moth) but i'm not an expert



lemon sharks like tropical waters...think caribbean and pacific islands




two very tasty looking lemon desserts



a lemon bar buffet



lemon flower



lemon zest


lemon heart


lemon citrine


wtf?!? mutant lemon!



love the evil grin



cool lemon



scary little knit lemon



lemon sniffy stickers



lemon battery



guess this guy wasn't happy with his ipod



never heard of this before...but it looks tasty



lemonheads...yum


a few smart quotes too...

to contrast with dumb quotes there must be smart quotes too...here are a few examples of “smart” (or curly) quotes.
