Engineers' thoughts on "Intelligent Design" (eMail I got)

[Richard Steele]

Three engineering students were gathered together
discussing the possible designers of the human body.

One said,
"It was a mechanical engineer.
Just look at all the joints."

Another said,
"No, it was an electrical engineer.
The nervous system has many thousands
of electrical connections."

The last said,
"Actually it was a civil engineer.
Who else would run a toxic waste pipeline
through a recreational area?"

1. My favorite take on ID regarding the human body

Why would an intelligent designer put a playground so close to a sewer?

2. No intelligent designer

would give us just one heart, liver, brain, and so on. Yeah, we do have two kidneys, two lungs, and a few other multiple systems, but for the most part there's no real redundancy built in. It really is a bad design.

And how about all the genetic diseases? Auto-immune disorders? What idiot did the designing?

3. And why do we have an appendix just so it will burst?
