Random Thought of the Day: Bipedalism is over-rated…

Okay, maybe not completely -- being able to walk while eating a bowl of cereal is dandy. However...what if humans had never evolved into bipeds? Four on the floor could have benefits, you know.

Mad pouncing/lunging skills -- better balance and agility and more force behind the leap could make pouncing/lunging all the rage. Pretty sweet if ya think about it.

Sharper turning maneuverability -- at higher speeds! It would be like 4-wheel drive plus a lower center of gravity compared to what we’re sporting now. Fun!

Hand shoes –- No longer will feet have all the fun. Vicious, chunky-soled, E-Z release shoes for your hands. Smooth glove-like fit, and durable treads -– what’s not to love? ;-D

Man, if I could do swim fins on ALL FOURS... I'd be able to swim to the other end of the pool in a nanosecond!

Ice skating on all fours -- awesome. Ice hockey on all fours -- not so much.
