Want to share your thoughts on something new or old, popular or obscure, useful or worthless?  As long as it’s an invention, I think this is a great place to share it.

Sliced bread. Last great one, in my opinion.

Technically, the invention is the bread slicer, aka a knife.

Cracked.com did a great article a while back, "The 10 Most Ridiculous Inventions Ever Patented."

My favorite is the "Apparatus for simulating a High Five."

"During a televised sporting event," the patent explains, "a 'high five' is commonly shared between fans to express the joy and excitement of a touchdown, home run, game-winning basket, birdie or other positive occurrence. Unfortunately ... a 'high five' requires the mutual hand slapping of two participants ... As such, a solitary fan is unable to perform a 'high five' to express excitement during a televised sporting event."

Surely, sliced bread is the pinnacle of our achievement as humans.

Or slabs of solidified bacon grease if they're poor.

Deodorant.

Too bad that there's always some guy/gal in the line with me who has never heard of it.

The problem with deodorant is that I am allergic to certain kinds, which results in itchy armpits. -.-

Huh. I was thinking of writing film (and videotape) but decided against it.
