The blanket. Heaters are nice, but enough blankets can replace a heater. Also portability has merits too.

We have central air in my apartment, but I never turn it on. About a week ago, my roommate came back from Milwaukee, and wanted to kick my ass for not turning on the air. I just sat around playing Makai Kingdom when it was hot, but I didn't realize how hot it was until my roommate said something. According to the thermostat, it was 103F.

I can stand the heat, but those cold January/Febuary days really get under my skin.

My second favorite is probably either the guitar or the piano, for being pretty much the key instruments in the music I listen to...

and maybe the violin.

It'd probably have to the the computer. It's a source of never-ending entertainment and a great tool for research or communications. On the other hand, it's helped to contribute to a lack of me going outside as much as I used to (the stifling heat notwithstanding)...

In terms of the most usful inventions, though, I suppose the answer would be different.

the book. without this little collection of paper and scribbles, modern life would never have come about. followed closely by the lightbulb.

I forget that this is favourite commonly used invention. I'm gonna go for the camera.

definately air conditioning

I heard that power lines cause cancer though. So I wouldn't say that they are cool :lolsign:

I'd have to say that I use the computer a lot. I'm a WoW addict and well without the computer I would not be able to feed into my nasty habit..

Internet! Or the Headphones.

Internet

Nuff said?

The internet makes the world much less bigger... and more interesting.

Everything is claimed to cause cancer, I'm sure milk will suddenly cause cancer down the road. Smoke detectors emit gamma rays and they are still cool.

electricity makes the world go round :P
