intelligent design
Two of the guys in the lab that I work with joke around a lot. The other day, while pretending to do a muscle builder's flex, one of them said: This body is no accident! Whereupon the other fellow quipped: You mean you did THAT on purpose!???
That reminded me of the buttons that I've been seeing on some science oriented websites.
It's the same type of caustic humor and at least to me, kinda funny. I like that 'in your face' humor.
Of course the point they're trying to make, and not very subtly, is that the theory of Intelligent Design insinuates a perfect creation and such a thing doesn't explain mistakes very well. Mutations, speciation, oddly designed body parts, extinction--they all fit poorly with the ID approach.
So, just how amusing do you find your own design? Personally, my wry amusement is usually centered around my leg to arm ratio. All my life I've had heavily muscled legs and butt. My arms and chest would embarrass a sparrow. Bad design, I tell you! So give it up--what's your odd feature?

I have the opposite problem. I have ZERO booty. Bleh.
I'll go with the long waist as one of my oddities. Is your butt supposed to start in the middle of your back and end at the bends of your knees? hmmm...

I once had a friend say that my figure reminded her of a ketchup bottle. Hardly a flattering comment. I wasn't even wearing red at the time either.
I have a GREAT smile though :-D
I've always been physical so even aging hasnt changed the foundation much, pretty muscular.. if i had a gripe it'd be that i'm top heavy for perfect horsemanship; back in the showring days it took 2 bras and occasionally an Ace bandage to hold them puppies perfectly still, hehe. on the other hand, that forward balcony kinda balances out the masculine looking arms and shoulders, overall when my bod FEELS good, i dont really care much what it looks like.. at least not anymore. my bikini days are over, and Hef quit lookin for me about 20 years ago, hahahahaaa
I'm hesitant to give them credibility by calling it a theory. But I'm not a scientist.
Maggie, Heffner is nuts. Muscle is good.
Michelle, we need to talk. LOL That goes for Yaeli also--I think she has the same problem!
:)
Your pictures are awesome, especially the misty ones. You are likely right. Voting for creds and browsing likely only produces a small handful of actual readers, though it pads the stats nicely :D
I'd have to go with my head. I swear I look like an alien. Of course, that could just be my own perception - perfection is in the eye of the beholder.
Kissing Bandit, I don't know about the alien thing. I do know that those lips on your blog are one of the best graphics I've seen! Are they yours? If so I do like the species of alien that you are. :-)
Lora, I'd never have guessed that from the picture of you I've seen on your blog. Those are some SERIOUS feet. I think my gf wears size 5 and she's only 2 inches shorter than you. Of course I'm always amazed she can balance on those little things...

Galileo Galilei saw the imperfection in the universe (phases of Venus, moons of Jupiter, rings of Saturn, sunspots, craters on the Moon) and decided this meant that the universe didn't need to have the Earth put perfectly in the center with everything revolving around it. For that he was sentenced to life imprisonment and it wasn't until the 1992 that Pope John Paul II apolgized for Galileo's fate.
As I understand it, Galileo did believe in God (as did Darwin, the IDers are quick to point out), he just had a different picture of His universe than the Church.
