Who is the greatest inventor of all time?

[_Martyr_]

GWB? what the hell has he invented?

Like to add: Alfred Nobel as well.

It was a joke...

Al Gore surely?!? He invented the internet I hear.

There was certainly no steam power at the time, so how can Archimedes built anything like that!

Check my links on Heron. There certainly was. I also saw that show on the history channel and they even built a working model of the steam cannon. Heron also built a steam powered organ. He also invented self opening doors. Its seems the Greeks and Romans werre really far far ahead of their times or should I say the dark ages were not called that for nothing. We had lost much more of their knowledge than was previoulsy imagined.

Leo gets my vote. But Heron and Archimedes were awesome too.

I saw I thing last night on the steam canon (didn’t catch the whole show though) but that would have changes a few things! A pre Gunpowder canon, watch out Constantinople!

Side note: it seems many inventors lost much of their work over the years, perhaps they should have invented a better filing system (Thanks,Dewey ).

I don't know his/her name, but whoever invented low-rise jeans should definitely make the list.




I mean, come on!

And I always thought Joe Mamma was the greatest inventor ever.
