      Actually Brontosaurus is another word for Apatosaur. I'm starting to wonder about your know-it-all claim....hmmm.


      thanks for explaining the brilliance of that reply to the peanut gallery.

      I'm pretty sure that scientists restored Brontosaurus as it's own name a couple of weeks ago...

      which would also be why I answered Brontosaurus and not Apatosaurus.

      Seems like an odd argument. Humans can't build something that can do certain things humans can do, therefore the human body works brilliantly? Humans have built machines that can lift weights far greater than we can. We've built machines that can solve mathematical problems (and hence real life problems) that we could never hope to do ourselves. There are robots that can walk, run, and even dance (for $8000 or less). But I don't see how any of these things has any bearing at all on how well the human body works.

      The human body does not work "brilliantly". If it was that great it wouldn't suffer from cancer, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, polio, congenital heart defects, and the many other problems that cut people's lives short. If it was brilliant, the birth canal wouldn't be small enough to cause complications for so many infants, the spine wouldn't be so prone to injury, and the knees wouldn't fail for so many people. A brilliant design wouldn't have us breathe and eat through the same tube, give us low-resolution eyes that see upside down and have a blind-spot, put a man's testicles on the outside... I could go on.

      So by all means be happy to be alive, and be amazed that complex life exists. But don't delude yourself into thinking that the human body is some kind of marvel of engineering. If those scientists building robots had designed something like the human body, I think the designer would be fired for incompetence.

      All i know is there hasn't been a robotic arm made that i would trust to fish my junk out of my pants at a urinal....

      I was excited to see this meme until I scrolled down and saw "my own urine" and not "my own piss". Someone made that meme way too adult.

      Does having and advanced degree cut down on your heating bills?

      It cuts down on the energy use vs the average population because I'm able to afford more energy efficient designs...but that's all just an averages game and results may not be typical for others with advanced degrees.

      If I plow over my corn fields to build a baseball diamond, will my deceased father come back to life and play catch with me?
