a different random thought

[tvguy]

I think Tia was asking for the first "GREATEST" invention.. not the "first" you dummies

I have to say electricity, the electric light or the automobile.. Henry Ford's model T or A

Either/Or.  (I did say first) How about the Clovis point for a "first"?

How about fire?

How about the condom

[Tiamat]

Are we having a revival?

How about the condom

Nope. It is rumored that my dad always used a condom and here I am anyway. 

Did you know "The oldest condoms ever excavated were found in a cesspit located in the grounds of Dudley Castle and were made from animal membrane, the condoms dated back to as early as 1642" So, the condom is clearly not an American invention.

In days of old
when Knights were bold.
And condoms weren't invented.
They placed a sock
upon their cock.
and Babies thus prevented.

Condoms were dated even back then??? 

[Cuzz]

I thought the question was about American inventions? So, plainly fire, Clovis points and condoms would not qualify.

Maybe Clovis points would if you meant north-American.

Let me guess, Tia. 
This is not exactly what you had in mind when you started this Topic. 
Oh well. It was fun while it lasted.

Yeah well.....it's all theoretical and up for discussion. Right?  I could have been more specific and made it more geographical than geopolitical. All the answers are interesting though, right?

I don't think this had a thing to do with what Tia brought up for discussion.

Of course the date was printed right on the wrapper. Or perhaps they just found it in 1642.

 And this post of yours did have something to do with what Tia brought up for discussion? You simply can not resist the urge to try and control what people do here.

Didn't bother me either. 
Just so out of place and changing directions from Tia's post.
Whatever.

They were talking about condoms from the 1600's, not so out of place
