Alphabet.

 Unlike other crap, the concept of a phonetic alphabet was only invented once in the course of human history - by the semitic ancestors of jews and palestinians.

My Bed!

I'll bike to work, i'll light a candle, i'll bath in cold water, i'll read a book. Just don't take my bed away. I spent good money on a good mattress. Best investment I ever made. Soooooooo comfortable. Can't get a good nights sleep w/o it.

The real important concept by the Arabs was the "zero" (not A6M5, tho)

And, by that time, arabs were probably the most tolerant and open-thinking society of that time. That explain a lot about then and now...  ;)
