Why do they call it duck tape?

Because it seals quacks.

My definition of a perfect invention is something that doesn't have to be improved. Since cellphones always have their defects and there are new phones coming out all the time i wouldn't call it a perfect invention.

I would say the quilt is an incredibly good invention :P don't have the guts to call it perfect though.

The fish hook. The beer cooler. And the lawnmower......Not MY lawnmower, the kids down the street. Mines a piece of shit that requires work

The bicycle is pretty near perfect: low impact on joints, good efficiency on energy, etc. I just wish roads were more adapted for its riders.

The PERFECT invention is cheap, simple, everyone needs it, and it can only be used once. The safety match.

I think Cat's Eyes are a pretty good invention. Obviously not quite so epic as fire or the wheel, but pretty useful. Driving down dark lanes at night is a lot easier when they've bothered putting some on the road for you. I remember seeing them on TV as a new invention many years ago now, and thinking they were absolute genius because of their simplicity. How do you make driving safer by lighting the road without actually lighting the road? Whoever came up with that is pretty bloody clever.
