Best Invention Ever

Getting back home from a very cold and tiring hockey trip, I decided yesterday that hot showers are quite possibly the greatest invention mankind has ever made. Sure, there are others that accomplish more tangible things and more striking things, but as far as everyday usefulness and all-purpose functionality, the shower wins.

Think about it...

Dirty? A shower will clean you. Duh.
Sick with the cold or flu? A shower will help clear you out and make you feel better.
Cold? A shower can get the blood flowing and warm you up.
Tired? A shower can invigorate.
Can't sleep? A shower can help relax you.
Sore and achy? A shower can soothe sore muscles.
Anxious? A shower can help you calm down.
Need to solve a problem? A shower can help you think.
Just in a crappy mood? A shower can help you chill and just feel better.

I personally think that no important difficult events should happen without everyone involved having a really good shower just beforehand. The UN should think about this before holding its next round of talks for the Middle East or Korea.
