Default Who invented what?

Anyway off subject a little, what do you think was the greatest
discovery/invention? My vote goes to the person who first put bacon
with
eggs!-


Fermentation.


Funny you should say that ... over the last few weeks, I've been
watching James Burkes "Connections". Last nights showed how the
invention of air-conditioning lead to refridgeration which help out
the Bavarian larger makers, who were forbidden to make beer in summer
because it was too hot.


And, presumably, because they needed to diet? )
