I think Xzibit did that on an episode of Pimp My Ride. He heard that little Jimmy liked to listen to music while washing his car's wheels so the magnificent Xzibit put an iPod in the wheels.

I was about to talk about nuclear power, but it would be controversial.
Instead, I think of contraception.

Agreed.
And tampons 
Oh, and vaccines are not bad either.

Err... guess I gotta work on my reading skills  . I just think contraception is a great invention too, and so are tampons.
Condoms too, I should add (it does qualify as contraception, but it has other uses, balloons 'n stuff...)
Although I'm sure our newish pope has issues with tampons as well as with everything else...
Wait, I shouldn't say stuff like that about the pope on a public forum, eh?

Man's greatest invention?
God. Or is it more the other way round? The jury's still out on that. ;)

The iPod requires the wheel directly. It's it's whole interface.
I'm inclined to say:
The Internet
God (maybe)
Rational Thought (if that's applicable to the idea)

I wanted to make a witty or at least funny "Mother's of Invention" reference here but it seems I have failed.

I keep telling you people it's toilet paper. Have you ever tried to wipe yourself with leaves? On an unrelated note, have you ever been hit in the head with a soft rock?

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...
