Lets take Antarctica and move it to the middle of the Pacific Ocean

Then all the Ice that melts off, we can transport to Mars and set up colonies over there

Then we can live on Antarctica and Mars....:p

I would but then I'd get flamed for doing so even though many popular posters, some of which no longer go here, did it long before I did.

time travellers robbed earth of its real history and it is their tampering alone that made possible the rise to the roman empire.

there is none of this good and evil nonsense between nontangable beings. there is a god though, but she never told anyone to worship her, and might not even be infallable.

but don't bring it up in dinner conversation because she's still too big to arm wrestle over the seating arraingements.

she does pick some poor bastard every thousand years to channel her, who invariably gets screwed for doing so, even though it is never anyone who ever thought they would have wanted the job.

humans built the face on mars, which was the second 'garden of eden', which, like the first on venus, we destroyed ourselves with environmental carelessness. it was build as a reminder, so that just about the time we'd again have the tecnology to discouver it, not to screw up the third and last planet in our solar system on which our life might be capable of being sustained.

s'ok. you may be write. i'm afraide i couldn't come up with very silly. that was as close as i could come up with. i'm not so sure they would have had to have been 'aliens' or not.

yah, some of what i said may not have been entirely "silly" at all. maybe most of it. i wasn't awaire of the intent of this to be about INVENTIONS though. i didn't see that in the header, and me bad, failing to read the o.p.

silly inventions? credit cards, cell phones, the entire financial services (read legalized con game) 'industry', televison, the private passinger automobile, most military hardware. about the only things i can think that weren't silly we've come up with are refrigerators, narrow gauge multiple unit railways, personal computers and the internet, and wind, solar, and modest scale hydro up in the hills to power them with.

the silliest real life in vention of all would have to be viagra. although tobacco cigarettes probably come pretty close too.

An Aircraft Carrier that can move only through the power of the aircraft it carries. So you need to tie them up to eachother, lift the aircraft off and have them pull the carrier. Or, if you have the vertical liftoff jets, you can lift it out of the water and carry it over land.

Reverse baseball, where instead of hitting the ball with a bat you hit the bat with a ball.

Reverse dodgeball, the objective of the game is to throw your team mates at enemies in dodgeball costumes (http://nindb.classicgaming.gamespy.com/dol/images/cam/gal/gal_ki-t01.jpg) (sorry thats the slosest to what I have in mind as far as outfits go that I could find) and if they catch him they get one of their mates back in.
