Supposed design flaws in the human body
She starts with the one about our pelvis not being well "designed" for giving birth to large brained babies and that this limits the size of the human brain. Her response is priceless.

I dunno, her "the gene for selfishness' scored pretty well too.
Here is the Nautilus article she is panning.
Top 10 Design Flaws in the Human Body
Notice she skipped over the tough ones like our designed-for-horizontal-but-is-vertical spine, our crowded mouth with wisdom teeth that can kill us, the recurrent laryngeal nerve, and of course men having exposed testicles. :O
That last one deserves an O'Dreary/UD joke but I can't think of one quickly. |
Yes, I would like to have a talk with the "designer" about the whole exposed testicle thing. What was he thinking?
Or maybe we were designed this way to pave the way for America's Funniest Home Videos and Jackass.
