It was the ancient turks! You know, those Arab mothersuckers from Saudi Arabia. They called them hookahs or something like that.
Probably a Chinaman. He made it and thought, "Hmmm, what should I name this thing?" Just then, someone struck a gong and it went, "Bongggggggg!" and a lightbulb went on over his head.
Caveman stoners invented the bong. It was a beacon for aliens to mark where they were. But soon, stoner cavemen that were growing old of smoking out of dead animals decided that they could morph the beacons into what we now call a bong. Soon afterwards, the aliens saw what cool thing the stoner cavedudes made and decided to join them in a fat smoke-a-thon. In aprriciation of the new device(aliens were smokin' metal) the decided to plant some totaly awesome strains of dope all over the world.
i totally forgot about this thread and forgot to post the answer.Mrsbudderworth was partially right. During the ottoman empire the Chinese would leave their water pipes at Turkesh trading posts to go on voyages. The Turks realized that these water pipes would be great for trading back home. This is where the hookah was created. Now where the hookah was modified to the modern bong....i have no idea.
