Sliced bread my ass

The greatest invention since the wheel is not the light bulb, it is not nuclear energy nor the computer, not that little project at Kittyhawk, not even the Gutenberg boys' gift to Steven King.

It is without a doubt the anonymous, at least to me, creative genius who came up with air conditioning. I say that as I sit in my lovely town house in 110 degree Las Vegas with a BTU impaired AC unit causing me to wipe pools of sweat off my keyboard. I am off to the pool, a frigid 93, aaah!

I had my own observations about intemperate conditions which I whined about here.

And the lovely, of annoying, thing about the Internet is it has an answer for everything. Such as air-conditioning: "In 1902 the first modern electrical air conditioning was invented by Willis Haviland Carrier. Designed to improve manufacturing process." (Wickipedia)

At least you have a pool to use!

Shit. Typo. That should be "if annoying." (I hate it when that happens.)
