Stupid Design

frankelee · 3 months

The whole video that particular quote is from is great- he also goes into how in the tiny fraction of the universe that is livable, the majority of it can either kill you, or is uninhabitable. And then there's the birth defects!

This one!

Great quote, however, in reading this I can't help but think that NDT isn't a big fan of anal...

you may find intelligent design in the few simple laws of the universe or how matter is magically organized ...

but if you study biology even just a little bit, you realize life is redundant as shit, constructed from trial and errors, and flawed to a point you actually wonder how you manage to stay alive....

life is the most fascinating organization of matter , and it's a complete mess.

their can't be any intelligence responsible for such a design.

Not to mention this... potentially nsfw (giraffe dissection)

Seen this before, it is excellent.

I was thinking about this, especially the 'entertainment in a sewer' remark the other day when I was reading about spiders. Male spiders have their reproductive pedipalps (y u no know this word, Firefox?!) on their faces/heads.

Imagine how much smarter it would have been to do that with people. That way, you can be engaging in cunnilingus with your girl, while simultaneously fucking with your facedicks!

Well that last part is just an old civil engineer joke.

This quote was nice, but I thought that it should've gone more like this:

NDT starts off talking about the wonder that is life, and how it's amazing that [mainly] random events led to the human race. He should then go on to say that despite this wonder, we still have issues with our bodies, such as vulnerability to disease, which an "intelligent design" wouldn't have ignored. Simply bashing the human body proves a point, but I think that it's much more effective to appreciate how intricate and beautiful it is while showing that even it's not perfect.

Is that a beer on the table in front of him?

I find funny that some people get their entertainment in the sewage system instead of the amusement park

I don't know about the rest, but I've seen Robin Williams do the last paragraph about the entertainment complex before. It's still worth pointing out.

Three engineers are arguing about the nature of god - a structural engineer, an electrical engineer, and a civil engineer.

The structural engineer says, "The human body is based upon forces - bones, muscles, tendons and ligaments. To hold man upright you need an understanding of these forces. God must be a structural engineer."

The electrical engineer says, "Bollocks! The human body is riven with kilometres of wiring - nerves reach every nook and cranny of the body. They are all linked to the most complex electrical system in the universe yet described - the human brain. God must be an electrical engineer."

The civil engineer says, "God is a civil engineer. Only a civil engineer would install a sewage pipe in a recreational area."

I made a video exactly to this effect on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPerur7NHr8

The irony is how stupidly designed the text layout is.
