*giggle*

you should probably add nail clippers, remote controls, toothpaste, and socks to that list for obvious reasons since the general trend seems to be inventions for hygiene or comfort.

LOTA: By far one of the most valuable inventions of all time. Without Lota, there would be no hygiene.

Health is the top element in Human Life, and Hygiene the top element in Health. If A=B & B=C, then A=C which makes lota the top element in Human Life.

Plus, from an Islamic standpoint, “Safai nisf eemaan hay”. For those who use Lota, attain half Eemaan without performing any good deeds. In a nutshell, without Lota, life, and more specifically, the A** would be dirty, thus making Lota one of the most valuable inventions.

Lota also ties in with one of your suggested Inventions, i.e. Shower. You took one after four years. Imagine if you did NOT have a lota, you would have to take one every day. Lota allows you to stay clean and save gallons of wasted water in the shower, thus helping the environment and mankind.

I’m officially giving it an acronym, for all great things (or most) have some form of abbreviation (SSDD, FOB, BRB, LOL, TTYL, DDLJ, K3G…). The SKII. Doesn’t it just sound like something that would be discussed in an important venue? Props, khan. I expect a new and improved 2007 SKII. I’ll check back in then.
