iPhones Are Better Than Toilets?

This is sort of funny. There was a survey of Brits on what they thought were the 100 greatest inventions of all time!

The full list is here, but here are some of the results I thought were interesting:

1. Wheel— Fair enough.
2. Airplane— Okay!
8. iPhone— How is an iPhone more important than a toilet? (Or even a cheese grater?)
9. Flushing toilet— See?
15. Pain killers
22. Toilet paper— Weird that this is so much lower than the toilet.
29. Hot water— THIS is an invention?!
39. Space travel— And this is less impressive than hot water?
44. Roof— Wow.
52. Bicycle— I think this should be much higher.
82. Facebook— PLEASE! Cheese graters are more important.
83. Escalator— How lazy...stairs didn't crack the top 100!
88. Cheese grater— Finally! 
101. Barf bags— Okay, I made that up.
