  1. Alphabet
  2. Mathematics
  3. Yoga pants

I agree...mostly

  1. Yoga pants 98%

  3. Mathmatics 1%

This more properly illistrates importance.

Are you all missing the obvious? INDOOR PLUMBING

Piggy backing on that one Bill Nye gave a strong argument for municipal sewer and water systems without which large cities could not exist.
