No, rain all you want.  That was just the first one to pop in my head.  The best ever is a taller order, which I'll need some time to think about.  Top contenders to include: pinball machines, apple corers, the internet, and contact lenses.

umm... maybe i'm old-fashioned... how about the printing press?

other top contenders for me:
bacon
blue jeans
most things in the feminine care aisle


MMJfanatic... ya know, in many parts of the world, toilet paper doesn't exist, or is a major luxury. that's why some cultures, like in india for example, focus on cleanliness so much because they use their hands. my boss' boyfriend interned in india and his family shipped him TP especially from europe... wild, huh?

It's not just the thing (we call it pedalos) but the guy who invented the slide ón the pedalo, he's a pure and simple genius. To make something cool even more cool is sheer brilliance. Now that's what I call a great invention.

Quotemost things in the feminine care aisle
yeah, i forgot about that.  those things are NOT available in other places, same with condoms and the pill and vibrators.  i just started thinking about what life would be like without tampons.  it would be very very very very very shitty.  if anybody's freaking out right now, deal with it.

yeah, but it's the way they roll.  (holy that's a pun and i didn't even mean it.)  my bro was in india, too, and i had prepped him about the bathroom situation.  the problem is that their septic tanks and sewage system can't handle the paper, so all these westerners come around and aren't careful and throw down.  i made my brother take a box of plastic baggies.  you get the picture.

also, ms. jen fawcett managed to last six months in india and didn't use toilet paper once.  that girl is fucking gold.
