[Dennis]

Maybe the most obvious but that's why I'm here:

The Motion Picture.

 

[Brian Kissinger]

With my fifth pick (third sir) uh third pick, I'll take the Breast Implant.

 

[Vickie_M]

The Motion Picture.

:frowning: :frowning: :frowning: That really was going to be my next one.

Ok, hmm...

AICN talkbacks and Yahoo message boards aside,

The Internet

[Simon_Lepine]

I'll take ... speech

 

[Brook K]

Anesthesia

watch Glory for the before and The Great Moment for the after.

 

[SteveGon]

I'll take ... speech

Interesting choice. Though I believe the ability to speak is more a product of evolution, what we've accomplished with it is amazing.

Anyway, I'll take one of the most important things in my life:

coffee (or rather the introduction of it as a beverage)


The answer to the last trivia question was Albert Einstein.

Here's another:

What 17-century style of architecture, art and music is considered the successor to Mannerism?

I agree that speech might be considered a product of evolution...but then, pretty much everything man does is too isn't it? It's just that man's need are more evolved these days. Maybe language would be more appropriate..

 

[SteveGon]

...but then, pretty much everything man does is too isn't it?

Sweet! You just validated my addiction to kinky sex!

 

[Evan Case]

I'm not even really sure where to date this offhand, but whenever man realized that the things causing death and disease were not not Wraths of God, witchcraft, or evil spirits, but rather microscopic bacteria and viruses is my next choice.

Once the enemy was known, combating it could begin.

Evan

 

[SteveGon]

Evan, according to the introduction in The Greatest Benefit to Mankind - A Medical History of Humanity:

From the 1860's, the rise of bacteriology, associated especially with Louis Pasteur in France and Robert Koch in Germany, established the role of microscopic pathogens. Almost for the first time in medicine, bacteriology led directly to dramatic new cures.

Good enough for me. Now I really need to find the time to read the sucker all the way through.


Eric is up.

On deck:

Dennis
Brian
Vickie

 

[Eric_E]

For my next pick, I choose the steam engine, one of the most important innovations of the Industrial Revolution. It ushered in an era of mechanical locomotion and paved the way for further technology such as the combustion engine.

 

[Dennis]

The phonograph.

Now you can take the music home.

The Telephone

 

[Eric_E]

Vickie, get out of my head - you've stolen three of my picks for your last three rounds! I had the internet (computer), flight, and the telephone on my list when I started the draft. You're the only one who's taken one, let alone three, of my choices.

It's that spooky Kansas City connection.
