Also, Beckham is apparently one of England's three greatest players in history.

It just goes to show, if you ask people what they think is the most important artefact in the world, 95% of them will just think of whatever they last used.

I hope those who got the flush toilet into ninth place washed their hands before using their touchscreen devices

All you need to know about the intelligence level of the correspondents is that they cannot use a dictionary, since they think the iPhone is an invention. It isn't. It's a progression of a kind of invention. Personally, I have doubts about whether the mobile phone itself is an invention, being in essence another progression from wireless phones.

Ibuprofen, Hair Straighteners and "Desks" - WTF.

Cant be bothered to look at the list, but hopefully bling bling ear rings, trainers and tracksuit bottoms are also on the list ?

Oh and Tesco value lager too.
