Top 10 Where Would We Be Without:

From BNET - Top 10 Where Would We Be Without:

Salt and pepper. You put it on everything. That’s why “spice” is also a verb.

Pick-up trucks. If you haul stuff, build stuff, live in a rural setting, you can’t live without one.

Toilets and toilet paper. Need I elaborate?

Flowers. Starting with pollen, pretty much everything comes from flowers, if you think about it. And they look so cool.

Clothes. I don’t care what nudists say - clothes are a great way to express what you’re feeling on any given day.

Music. The Beatles sang All You Need is Love. If they’d just said it, it wouldn’t have been the same.

Booze. Red wine, white wine, pink wine, beer, margaritas, Mai Tais, mojitos, scotch, martinis, whatever floats your boat. Call me whatever you want, I’m taking that stuff to my grave.

Coffee and tea. When you’ve got work to do and/or it’s too early to drink booze.

Condiments. Not just ketchup, mustard, and mayo, but salsa, hot sauce, guacamole, soy sauce, olive oil, vinegar, ranch dressing - what can I say, I love to put stuff on food.

Cars. Sure, they burn fossil fuels and cost a lot, but hey, you can just hop in and go anywhere you want, which is pretty cool. Also, I like to make mine an extension of my ego.

Oil and microprocessors. Some day we will see what it's like to not have oil. I hope I'm dead.

Agree. The one vehicle I have always had and will always have. I was without one for a yr and a half. and I was going nuts without it.

Cotton underwear. Without cotton underwear, the world would simply implode.

There will still be oil available, it will just be so expensive no one will be able to afford it.
Except for our self-appointed royalty of course.

Pretty much everything? Um, not really. There are a lot of things that come from plants, but not flowers, and definitely not 'pretty much everything'...

This list was written by a woman, I'm sure. Its retarded. I can think of a million more things that have contributed to human existence that are more important than coffee and condiments.

Vaginas.

Where would we be without vaginas?


Rich and Miserable, that's where.

Honeybee's

Life Without Honey Bees?
Imagine Thanksgiving dinner without cranberry sauce and pumpkin pies. Summers without strawberry shortcake and watermelon. Burgers without pickles, hot dogs without relish. Chips with no guacamole. Chinese food without soy sauce. America without apple pie. If the honey bees disappear, all of these foods and more will go right along with them. Over seventy farm grown crops, about one-third of our natural food supply, rely on honey bees for pollination.


Dogs-who will replace Man's best friend?
