1) monogamy
2) fire
3) monotheism
4) astronomy
5) clocks
6) written language
7) mathematics
8) farming
9) soap
10) wheel




I would replace clocks with currency, and replace astronomy with spears, otherwise I agree with your list...

Ah yes, the roman aqua-ducts. They found out how good it worked with water and repurposed them to transport beer to the taps in their bars...Okay, they could have!

When you drink a lot of beer, you have to go to the bathroom more often; therefore mankind was inspired to invent indoor plumbing to make doing so more convenient.

That was included. Urinals are, after all, a fairly recent invention.

I have a friend who has a urinal on the wall in his garage. I have always been envious, and somewhat in awe of him.
I'm worried by it too because I sometimes wonder if his wife, and mine are plotting our deaths while we are out there admiring it.😨

We woman usually refer to that object as a "tree". And it is on the external wall, not an internal one. Admire it all you want.

Statistics would indicate they are more likely to do their plotting while you are USING it.

Aha, the truth comes out. You are a "cracka". Sears catalog and everything, I'm assuming.
