Me
Evan
Eric

 

[Brook K]

Always my pick for mankind's greatest achievement

Contraception

 

[SteveGon]

Funny you should pick contraception - Kissinger and I were discussing that last night. No, it's not what you're thinking.


Anyway, I'll take:

The theory of evolution - Charles Darwin, Alfred Russel Wallace, et al.


Evan is up.

On deck:

Eric
Dennis
Brian
Vickie

 

[Evan Case]

Hmm...

I will take The written word (symbol/glyph/character/etc).

Eric
Dennis
Brian
Vickie

Evan

 

[Evan Case]

Was guillotine the trivia answer?

Evan

 

[SteveGon]

Guillotine is correct!

Here's another:

What nationality was the first person awarded a patent for a mini electronic circuit, in 1964?


Dennis is up.

 

[Eric_E]

Going hand in hand with Evan's pick, I'll select the Gutenberg Press - the invention that truly leveled the playing field by making books, and therefore education, available to all classes and not just the elite.

 

[Dennis]

I was going to say writing instruments, but I guess the Gutenburg Press is close enough.

What came first, the chicken or the egg?
I choose music, the first musical instrument could have been two rocks beaten together.

Life without music would be a mistake.

 

[SteveGon]

Note: though Dennis has taken music as a whole, you may still pick specific works of music.


Brian is up.

On deck:

Vickie
Simon
Brook

 

[Brian Kissinger]

With my first, and most important pick, I'll be taking the lifeblood of my happiness: Pornography.

 

[Vickie_M]

1-8, 1-8 huh? Ok.

Brook, Steve and Dennis already got my first three!

I could live without it, but I sure as hell wouldn't want to:

Electricity

And the answer to the last trivia question was American.


Here's another:

What did Benito Mussolini claim "brings up to its highest tension all human energy"?

 

[Brook K]

The Wheel

 

[SteveGon]

Within the realm of music, one work reigns supreme:

Beethoven's Ninth Symphony


Evan is up.

 

[Evan Case]

The Moon Landing's pretty damned awe-inspiring if you ask me.

Or, as The Onion put it, HOLY SHIT: Man Walks on Fucking Moon. Couldn't have said it any better myself.
