Us. You & me. Yooman beans...

The religious & the Creationists will try euphemisms like 'Intelligent Design' to try & disinfect the absurdity of their 'Deity' postulations. But 'Unintelligent Design' is what I always call it.

I mean, look at childbirth -- and if you have, like me, the privilege [in this particular] of never having to do more than look at it, think how lucky you are to be in this half of humanity. The fatuously exiguous dimensions of the passages the bloody great thing of that size has to get thru. 'Intelligent'? In a pig's ear!

Or regard the plain nuisance of having to stop whatever you are engaged in at frequent intervals to piss or shit. How inconvenient! Last time I mentioned this, some younger poster replied he quite enjoyed the process. Just let him wait till his necessary mechanisms aren't working with quite their present efficiency & see how much he'll like it then.

Which brings me to the main 'unitelligence'-factor in our design. The AGING process...

Surely if the designer really had any 'intelligence', he could have sorted out all these gross inefficiencies by now.

I repeat, a fine example of Unintelligent Design is what we are!
