there's been a lot of good stuff here - antibiotics, vaccines, writing, the printing press, internet, but the best has yet to come. My dad told me a story a while back when he was a chemist - he said one of his colleagues was part of this experiment where he was able to create energy from water....but it was this fluke thing, and the guy could never reproduce his initial results....

Stuff like that has happened though, and it's only a matter of time before we figure it out.....
