I'll play, not necessarily in order: 1. the sailboat (hydrodynamics and an inclined plane) 2. the bicycle (application of leverage and simplicity) 3. the frisbee (abstract relativity) 4. a good book (esoteric thought) 5. sex. Enjoy.

Re: Other stuff
The ultimate tool kit: - ViseGrips®
- Duct tape
- WD-40®
- List tags
Disclaimer: The above statement is without a doubt, the most LUDICROUS, IDIOTIC AND PERFECT EXAMPLE OF WILLFUL STUPIDITY, THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN OR HEARD.
