Mankind's Greatest Accomplishment

[madcap2112]

This week, in light of the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon mission, CNN asked people around the world what they thought mankind's greatest achievement has been. Some said fire, others the wheel, music, the written word, and many others, even video games. What do you think is mankind's greatest invention or achievement?

I think the two best accomplishments would be the first flight to space, and (over the course of several scientists and inventions) the use of electricity.

Oooh, close. So close. But no.

Not unless we made them, which would be hilarious to me.

In my humble opinion I am proudest of mankind's assurance of its extinction hundreds-of not thousands-of years ahead of time through the destruction of the ozone layer leading to a violent ice age that won't end until we're all gone. ^-^ aaah, happy thoughts.

Won't end 'til enough industry is gone to re-balance the environment, you mean.
