The battle of Thermopylae. No one knows for sure how long it lasted. 3-7 days is what it generally excepted. What ever length it gave the rest of Greece that extra time to get ready. If the Persians would have made it through Greece then there was nothing to stop them from entering Europe. If that would have happened then Western Civilization would not be what it is today.
Heard that on the History Channel.

All of that sounds good.. But I still say Vaginas, Steak, Velcro, and Skynet's Terminator models beat all that crap out of the water.
Oh, and Beau's posts on this thread confirm that he is stranger than even I.

Whether it be the big bang, god, etc. the creation of the universe has to be #1
If we are talking about world history the three most important categories I can think of 1) travel 2) communication 3) Food
1) the wheel, taming horses etc for travel, boats, wagons, trains, planes and automobiles. Having a means to get to other places and then what happens is a major part of the equation.
2) The ability to speak, and the development of oral languages, then written languages. Their is no history if you can't hear or read about it. It is the basis on which everything is built. telegraphs, phones, printing press, internet/email, record players, and everything else new that allows people to communicate and exchange info. It spreads information, starts wars, etc etc.
3) The invention of farming and methods to preserve and store food. No travel without food, no huge cities would have existed without specialized farmers (ie, people didn't have to go harvest or kill their dinner everyday). The lack of nutrition of modern foods and the enormous amount of disease and illness it causes is a major player in our current world and in the past in several cases too.
..yeah, so thats the one most important thing

Agreed!
Wasn't Spock narrating to the rest of the crew the steps that Kirk was taking to build his home made cannon? The crew was only able to see, but not otherwise communicate with Kirk, right? Classic.:twisted:

The Garn-a superior being had determined that the leader of one species should battle Kirk "mono y mono" to see which species deserved to survive in their galaxy. Kirk wins and elects not to kill the Garn so the superior beings spares both species! The crew watches from the comfort of the bridge in front of a beautiful hd big screen while yoman Janice serves drinks in a short dress uniform...what drama!!!

Re: Worst day in history
I bet you cringed the second it left your lips!
I read that and I got a sinking feeling in my stomach....
....same feeling I get when watching "Full Metal Jacket"...the scene that makes you go "Oh ****!" just like when you realized the words that came out of your mouth......it goes like this:
HARTMAN
Private Joker, do
you believe in the Virgin
Mary?
JOKER
Sir, no,
sir!
HARTMAN throws down the garbage can with a loud
bang.
HARTMAN
Private Joker, I don't believe I heard you
correctly!
JOKER
Sir, the private said "No, sir," sir!
HARTMAN
Why, you little maggot! You make me want to
vomit!
HARTMAN slaps
JOKER, hard, across the cheek.
HARTMAN
You goddam
communist heathen, you had best
sound off that you love the Virgin
Mary . . . or
I'm gonna stomp your guts out! Now you do
love
the Virgin Mary, don't you?!
(When I saw this in the theater when it first came out....everyone just sank into their seat as if they were hiding from Sgt. Hartman themselves and were saying under their breath..."Just say yes sir! Please! Just say yes sir!" Sphincter factor of 10+!)
JOKER
Sir, negative,
sir!!
HARTMAN
Private Joker, are you trying to offend
me?!
JOKER
Sir, negative, sir!!! Sir, the private
believes
that any answer he gives will be wrong! And
the Senior
Drill Instructor will beat him
harder if he reverses himself, sir!
HARTMAN
Who's your squad leader, scumbag?
JOKER
Sir, the private's squad leader is Private
Snowball, sir!!!
HARTMAN
Private Snowball!
SNOWBALL double-times up to HARTMAN.
SNOWBALL
Sir, Private Snowball reporting as ordered,
sir!
HARTMAN
Private Snowball, you're fired! Private Joker is
promoted to squad leader!
SNOWBALL
Sir, aye-aye, sir!
HARTMAN
Private Pyle!
PYLE
Private Pyle reporting
as ordered, sir!
HARTMAN
Private Pyle, from now on
Private Joker is
your new squad leader, and you will bunk
with
him! He'll teach you everything. He'll
teach you how to pee.
PYLE
Sir, yes, sir!
HARTMAN
Private Joker is silly
and he's ignorant, but
he's got guts, and guts is enough. Now, you
ladies carry on.
JOKER, COWBOY & PYLE
(in
unison)
Sir, aye-aye, sir!

So....did the girlfriend respect you for having the guts to call her the nasty name? Or did she kick your ass Sgt. Hartman style? :nutkick:

Ahh yes I remember it well New years eve 1994 NYC the Grand Hyatt on 42 nd street...We were sharing a suite with about 10 other people. There was a misunderstanding between a single girl and a ramdom 6'6" 300 lb stranger, who broke into our room in a full rage. I picked up the phone to call security and as I was talking to the front desk my girl hung up the phone... I said why the **** did you do that ....(She was afraid security would kick us out for having too many people in our room)....I shook my head an said you stupid cun..., before I could get the "T" out she was in the hallway crying. I ran after her and told her I was sorry a few thousand times and later that year we actually had sex!!!

Gunpowder seems to be in the lead with # of votes! See also Star Trek Spece Lizard discussion pages 1 and 2 of this thread.
Oh yeah, I called my wife a c*nt years ago. Then, because I was so mad, I said "that's right, with a capital 'K'!!! I think that makes it even sound more evil, with a K.:twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
