what's the best invention ever?

heh, took me a while to gather all my thoughts and post that all at once, but after I did that, I realized that I was just repeating exactly what Jess was saying. heh, my bad

Thanks for the essay man! Only one problem with it, just that insulin doesn't help you use the energy, it actually promotes the anabolism and storage of glucose into glycogen and triglycerides. In the long run, though, they get used for energy.

 
everyone in my family has diabetes. im pretty sure ill get it when im older. type II is not as bad as type I though. jevenille diabetes is hell. especially when you're a kid and have to give yourself a shot everyday. people with type II just check their blood sugar every once in a while, and try not to eat sugary foods.

and thats actually not an exagerration. I really got a 25% on my report card. I don't think I even wrote the final exam... I'm a dummy

Ya, type II isn't that bad because you can regulate it and prevent it to a certain extent with low sugar diet and regular exercise (like skiing!).

 
seanPISTOL man, one of my best friends has it really serious. he has to inject himself like 5 times a day. and he really has to watch his diet. it's crazy man. pretty scary stuff...

heh, yeah dude. I love talking about intelligent shit, and I hope you're not being sarcastic. It'd be so much more interesting to see peoples thoughts on shit that matters in our lives and whatnot, rather than just post random crap all the time.

But yeah, I was also thinking more in the direction of antibiotics. I think it was Alexander Flemming that discovered lysozyme, an enzyme occurring in many body fluids, such as tears, that had a natural antibacterial effect... but not against the strongest infectious agents. it's pretty funny actually because I recall that he was in WWI and wanted to invent some sort of chemical that would kill the bacteria that was even more dangeruous than enemy artillery. Anyways... eventually this discovery lead to further reasearch and the discovery of penicillin, which was huge.

this shit is just so fascinating man. Too bad I was a lazy ass in high school and could only manage to be in engineering. my first choises were astrophysics and biomed

^ i wasnt being sarcastic at all. i cant stand unintelligent people. i dont know very much about medecine. lets talk about history ehh?

-sean
 
I'm not very good with history other than the history of Canada... what's on your mind?

-sean
 
heh, not much at all. looking into buying a DNA jacket but I'm broke as hell. I'm going skiing sunday and I'm so stoked. But yeah... history. soooooooo, bah, fuck it, it's late, I'm tired. I can't think straight anymore

the best invention ever was surely the wheel.

yeah that's a good point, it was a stepping stone into the technological world, but it was more a discovery than an invention.

someone way back earlier in this thread called insulin an antibiotic. i think you mean penicillin. insulin is a peptide hormone secreted by the islets of the pancreas that regulates the level of sugar in the blood.

amaantha or whatever, you are a goon. you have a californiation video in your profile. maybe you should go home and rethink your life.

 
hahaha right insulin an antibiotic? And how was electricity one of the best inventions? Who invented electricity because im pretty sure you cant invent something that occurs naturally already.

 
thank you cousin_scott for repeating exactly what we've already said many times. vantownloc, how am I a goon? all you do is make pointless posts and try to piss people off, and californication is a great song. I think you should be the one rethinking your life. quit worrying about other people you tool

yeah, ski-hobo said insulin was an antibiotic. I hate it when people try to be a part of the convo but have no idea what the hell they're talking about.

ladies, ladies, greatest invention of all time: the written word, and mrre accurately, Guttenberg's printing press. This allowed the dispersion of information in an affordable fashion to the masses and over distance, thus ensuring greater scientific and otherwise productive collaboration leading to an ever-increasing rate of discovery/invention that produced the ideas and ammenities we take so much for granted today.

'Distracted? Does anyone ever get tracted? I'm gonna call the suicide hotline and ask.' - Homer Simpson
 
I'm not trying to be deep or anything but maybe humanity its self is the greatest invention - at least from our standpoint. You can credit God or evolution or whoever, but from a human's standpoint, shouldn't we feel like our existence is more worth while than any material comforts - which you could not experience otherwise - or drugs that save lives - which otherwise would serve no purpose without our existence.

 
yeah dspin7x is a weenie. like he has nothing better to do with his life than sit around and annoy people.

The greatest invention ever is probably going to be in a few years when someone figures out a way to make it cold again.

If it aint Gorilla it aint Steeze
 
And this has to be an invention people, no fuel conservation or worrying about the greenhouse effect. I'm talkin like massive snowblowers.

If it aint Gorilla it aint Steeze
 
That would be sick, maybe they'll make snow on the mountains and people will have personal snow makers for urban but everywhere else it will be warm so I don't have to freeze my ass off and I can go to the beach all year round!

 
anybody with high 5, check out 'wakers acres'. he used a personal snowmaker to make all the snow you see...

i maintain that the wheel was the greatest invention. you cant create half of the afore-to mentioned things without some sort of wheel in the production mechanisms.

I think the best thing you should do when someone PMs you is assume they're an asshole and call them an idiot.

Try to reconcile it by being nice, then try to outsmart them (doesn't work if you're an idiot too)and if all else fails resort to name calling and threats.
