    oh, you make faces now, but when the time comes that you want to wear something special for your man, you know what it's gonna be.

    .... assuming that time ever comes.

    Hey guys: if you want your lady to wear something special, be sure to treat her special. Make her <i>feel</i> like doing things for you, not just because she has to. :)

    Anyway, I think we just proved that these things were invented by men.

    It's a bit simplistic, of course, but consider that we had trains before cars. What if we had just continued with just public transportation only? Oil wouldn't be so expensive now if everyone took public transportation instead of individual cars.

    But if push comes down to shove, I'm not saying I would give up cars. I'm just saying there's merit to the argument that cars create more problems for society than they solve.

    - Fake boobs, tanning salons, plastic surgeons, and most artificial stuff for that matter

    - Gas guzzling SUVs, gas leaf blowers (electric ones are cool though)

    - Drive-thru windows, veggie burgers

    - Unsolicated popups (thank god we have Firefox, but popups can still sneak in sometimes)

    - Depleted uranium ammunitions (the fallout of DU probably won't kill you right away, but the deleterous effect is long lasting, and the genetic makeups of the affected population can potentially be altered. Thank you Uncle Sam for discovering a creative way to recycle nuclear wastes and opening a door to proliferate radioactive weapons.)

    Not an invention though. It's part of human nature. That's why we don't expect things like war, greed, hatred, bigotry, and stuff like that, to be listed in this thread.

    Agreed. Where else can you go into a store for a gallon of milk, and come out with $200 worth of other crap?

    I used to do that on SimCity -- my city would have no roads, only trains. Never got those stupid traffic complaints, but I would always get the "need more roads" complaint.

    I don't know. They're all pretty bad I guess.

    This goes without saying. I treat my wife special and do thoughtful things for her constantly, and I always do so without expecting reciprocation.

    Probably true.

    those padded bras (for girls who... cheat)
    "floaters" (like popups but worse)
    supersized combos with double meat burgers
    Thousand Island
    holidays that were invented just to sell cards
    Nair For Nads :D

    Wow, that's bit too harsh. :D

    At least they are not permanent, are they? :)

    I agree botox is a biatch, though it's a natural "product". :(

    I third that!!!! I live at Columbus Circle near Roosevelt Hospital and a lot of the doctors who park on my street have their stupid alarms go off in the middle of the night. I fantasize about dropping a brick on their cars, but I know that somewhere between by window (10th floor) and the car, some poor sap would step outta the hospital and get brained by me. That would be a downer.

    I also hate the backing up sound on trucks.
