The Greatest Inventions of Mankind

These are the things that are symbols of Mankind's triumph. There are currently 9 of them, but the list is ever growing, as more and more candidates are submitted to the Awesomenestlist Things in the World Committee.

The List

1. Microwave lights. Oh yes, watch your food as it cooks! Freakin' awesome.
2. Fish Fingers. In these times of economic hardship, thank the Lord for Captain Birdseye and his cheap, questionably gritty foods.
3. The triangle. If you didn't get to play an instrument in the school play, you'd be cheesed off, wouldn't you? Thanks to the triangle, the simplest instrument ever, you can join a rock band and even start up a record label without having to learn music notation.
4. Sticks and chickens, without which there would be no "What's brown and sticky?" or even an animal to cross the road.
5. Buttocks. Where would we be without our backsides? Well, we certainly wouldn't be out on our arses...
6. AOL CDs. So many possibilities! I just use them as free drinks coasters.
7. Sarcasm detector. Useful for anybody who is taking a trip to London or Slough.
8. Chocolate covered peanuts. You thought peanuts couldn't get any better? Well they just did! Get chocolate all over your face in a way you never thought possible.
9. The Wooden Condom, forged deep in the jonny factories of Mordor, this terrific invention mixes longevity with pleasure to create a condom that'll totally eradicate the hurried jonny search that irks every virile man on the go, splintering the need for all other forms of birth control! Why not buy grandad one for Christmas?

With more amazing achievements found to be amazing every day, surely this list will grow and grow.
