Most are probably aware of this, but just in case your have forgotten, here is a reminder as to why we have so many chiropractors, podiatrists, and dentists. The gym has done wonders for my back and posture by the way.

Four perfectly-fitting wisdom teeth for me! Smiley  Probably why wisdom teeth are such a tough problem evolutionarily - there are two flawless and diametrically-opposed endpoints!

pshaw!  Do these sound like the words of a madman?

What a piece of work is a man!
How noble in reason, how infinite in faculty!
In form and moving how express and admirable!
In action how like an Angel!
In apprehension how like a god!
The beauty of the world!  The paragon of animals!

shoulders/neck/upper back area is an argument against the existence of a Creator.  regular exercise of the area and staying away from inflammatory substances does work well.

That sounds very profound, in a way.

"higher intelligence is an evolutionary error" is an old idea.

I honestly hold that the evolution of humans has not been good for the long-time prospects of the mammalia clade as a whole. Very long-time, obviously, but there it is.

I also stole the wording from the professional ethos of a friend of mine who troubleshoots SAP ERPs for a living... "SAP has no bugs. SAP is a bug."
