My vote goes to the atom bomb. Aside from saving japanese and american lives at the end of ww2- it has served little purpose but fill billions of lives with even more fear and drain the economies of many nations.


I disagree, I think that it prevent WW3, and think will still in the coming years. If there were no nukes, that would only give nations more incourgement to go to war. Allthough if nukes start spreading more, it can cause the reverse effect.

Support Apolyton, buy Civilization III: Complete

The worst design ever has to be the clasp on the back of a woman's bra. I'm not talking about the single hook style (those one's are easy to get undone) but the two small hook design (those little bastards positively won't come off). Those things are absolutely infuriating!

I still think the New York Yankees -- because they ruined the competitive balance in baseball. It simply is no fun to have to beat this same team year in and year out to win the World Series.

Next, of course, are the Atlanta Braves!

It would actually be the player's union and free agency that has ruined baseball.

It's not the yankee's fault that they win so often. Besides, they didn't win anything between 1978 and 1996, and they didn't win last year.

I felt the xfl had a good premise but bad implementation. and you cannot escape the fact that the talent pool for professional football is a bit narrow.

The medical latex glove is the worst invention in history because without it attending physicians would never have had the balls to force interns into doing rectal exams on every patient. I'm not kidding!

lead based paint was used by the navy and I think it may still be used on the outside hull. It is stronger than other paints.

I'm not disputing it's usefulness. DDT and PCBs are useful, too -- it's just that the potential for harm is high.

OW needs to go back to his Nat'l Geographic collection and see what breasts look like when they don't use them.


If you watch the BBC America program... Ground Force... you can catch Charlie Dimmock and see what I mean. She has the right idea.

Just because some women droop doesn't mean they all do. :-P~~ Besides, the National Geographic did that on purpose to discourage America's youth from ****ing and going blind.

mostly it deals with size I'd imagine. women with bigger boobs have them drop faster. and many african women have large breasts.

although I do imagine bras do help shape their growth and keep them perkier for a longer time. but eventually gravity catches up with them.
