Has anyone ever read the book Seven Wonders by John C. Ryan? It's required reading for a class I'm taking, but it's really interesting. It's not about the Great Pyramids of Egypt or the Colossus of Rhodes, but rather seven humble things: the bike, the clothesline, the ladybug, the condom, the public library, the ceiling fan and Pad Thai.
A quote from the book:
"The seven sustainable wonders, on the other hand, are not monuments to past achievements or technologies but tools to help us live. They look forward, not backward; the only thing colossal about them is the ecological harm they all fight. These unlikely objects - mostly small and unimposing - can help us build a civilization that can last through the ages, a feat that should leave us all filled with wonder."

More than half my height is in my legs. It seems like such a waste to cover them up, but, alas, it must be done, for the good of all.
