Computer? Car? No Thanks, We'd Rather Have A Toothbrush

from the and-thank-goodness-for-that dept

A perfect slow news Friday type of story. A completely pointless, but still amusing, survey has been released asking people which invention could they least live without. The choices were car, cell phone, computer, microwave oven or toothbrush. Thank goodness for personal hygiene. The toothbrush won out with 42% of the vote, meaning that should the impossible happen, and four of those five inventions disappear, we'll still be able to talk to each other in person without wincing.
