  • Battle of the -gels!

    In your opinion, which thing ending in -gel has added the most to human happiness? For those who don't recognize them, a short description of each contender:

    Bagels are a rather yummy breakfast food, a sort of bread product which can be toasted and spread with cream cheese, jam, butter, what-have-you.

    Hegel was a massively influential German philosopher who inflicted Hegelian Dialectic on the world. I would tell you what Hegelian Dialectic is, but nobody knows that. Even Hegel's most ardent followers can't tell us WTF they're talking about.

    Kegel is the name of a doctor who developed exercises isolating the PC (groin) muscles. Regular use of Kegel's exercises can supposedly increase sexual performance by both sexes as well as preventing incontinence. I suspect this dude's going to win, now that I've told you that.

    Nagel was an artist working in the '70s-early '80s who specialized in prints of elegantly-mannish women, thereby casting a whole generation of young men into doubts as to their own sexuality.

    If you can think of another, more deserving -gel, preferably with an A sound before the -gel, like the above four, feel free to choose the last option and mention your contender.
