“Best invention since ’sliced bread’” is probably the most abused cliche in the history of abusing and/or cliches. On my way to work, I was wondering if sliced bread is THE best invention ever. I highly think not!
10. Plumbing
Plumbing has offered human society with the kitchen sink (Thus the often used ‘…everything but the kitchen sink’. Without it, society would crumble without using this expression.), the shower, bathtubs, sewers (without sewers, what would be the use of intense cops and robbers chases?), and of course, the all-glorious toilet.
9. The Laser

Come on… lasers! t is today at the core of consumer products from CD players to laser printers. Plus, it’ll be the bread and butter of towering mechs, robots and the weapon of choice for wars of the future.
8. The LazyBoy
Need I say more?
7. The Automobile
Once cars were invented, roads were improved. Once roads were improved, cities sprouted suburbs, because people could now live in the country, yet work in the city. And thus we have become a nation of sprawl, rather than density. Furthermore, as cars grew popular, the oil industry boomed. Oil became a key to power and wealth–and one of the major factors for political and economic unrest in the Middle East. And here we are today. Aren’t cars fun?
6. The Phone
Hello? Is anyone home? Don’t you agree that the phone is a cornerstone of human achievement? You do! Yay!
The ability to talk to someone from miles a way? That idea was unheard of and often desired before the entire concept of the telephone was even birthed.
Bye bye, beautiful.
5. The Lasagna
Italians rejoice! Their pride and joy (lasagna > spaghetti) of pasta has made this list! Mwahahahahaha.
The meat.
The sauce.
The al dente-ness of the pasta
Did I mention the sauce?
I just made Garfield proud.
4. The Comic Book
The X-Men, Batman, Wolverine, Spawn, Spiderman, Captain America, Iron Man…
These are just some of the most prominent names that the comic book has given birth to.
Comic books have enriched the lives and imaginations of kid, adults and the kids-at-heart.
Seeing multi-colored spandexed people fighting bad guys has never been such a beautiful sight.
3. Bumming Around
Seinfeld, NBA, Heroes, The OC, Oprah, HBO, Star Movies, My Name is Earl, Movies, Die Hard on DVD, Video Games, Laserdisc, DVD, Betamax, VHS, sitcoms, Bill Cosby, HD TV, Playstation 3, Wii, Super Mario, Yummy yummy couch, bean bags….
God Bless the man bum pioneer.
2. The Electric Guitar
Oh come one, didn’t you think that a lil’ ‘ol musician such as myself would not include something as glorious as an electric guitar would not include this list now, would you? So anyway, without this, there’d be no heavy metal, no metallica, no rage against the machine, no great nights jumping around in my underwear singing the most rockingest songs and *gasp* no Coheed & Cambria.
1. The Computer

OH.COME.ON.
