Best invention for the past 200 years?

If I Could Go Back A Little More In Time.....

I would chose the opposite sex (having sex).

I knew that they had been around longer than 200 years, but I was mainly referring to companies such as "trojan", "magnum" or "rough rider" you know...something more along the line of "ribbed for her pleasure" but I appreciate the link!

Strange this should come up. Just yesterday I watched a 1987 documentary, "Radio Bikini" about those tests. Bikini has to be one of the finest examples of a good idea poorly implemented.
 
Aaaaah yes!

The old geezer's 'hot to trot' today !

Let's just say "age will occasionally beat beauty" ! (Especially when you actually went to school with Watt, Newcomen and Trevithick ....!):clap:

Swimsuit or Nuclear Test ?

(Is there a smiley .... for "rolling around on the floor, absolutely out of control, laughing" ?)

So sorry ! Just couldn't resist ... !

Warmest Regards,

I believe it's the transistor :-) . Without it, many of today's technological developments could not have been possible (or would have at best, progressed very slowly).

Imagine using vaccum tubes in place of transistors - the result would be unreliable electrical appliances (vaccum tubes failed easily) and theorectically speaking, the average Pentium II CPU (not Pentium IV) could be as large as a warehouse.

You should see that documentary about the Operation Crossroads test/fiasco at Bikini. I just now did some googling on the operation and found a page that expands on some things the documentary didn't really get a chance to cover.

Ribbed for her pleasure? How many of you guys turn it inside out so its ribbed for 'your' pleasure???? I have heard of that being done.
I think transportation is pretty good, whether it be a huge old ship back in the days, or bumper boats in a theme park. Im a big fan.

The late and much lamented Southern philosopher Lewis Grizzard (may he rest in peace) related a tale, likely apocryphal, of a small town Georgia youth in the 1950s venturing into a drugstore and asking for a "french tickler".

"Son, do you know what that will do to a woman?" asked the druggist.

"No, but it'll make a goat jump six inches straight up in the air," replied the boy.
 
:blush: ... each to their own :cool:

Six inches ?

That guy wasn't so good, was he ?
 
You say that like a man who has made goats jump higher in his day.....

You post put me in mind of a song from Lewis Grizzard, with the refrain of "Damn, brother...I don't believe I woulda told that"
