well, that would explain a lot

One scientist makes an argument for incompetent design, on the grounds that no "intelligent designer" would ever have come up with our too-many teeth and bad backs. I think this theory might also explain wonky knees and the fact that our eyes wear out too fast.

Besides, Kevin Smith came up with the single best argument against an intelligent designer: Platypi. I mean, seriously dude...

And don't forget the fact that the tube we breathe with is not only right next to the tube that takes food to our stomachs, they're actually connected at the top! Anybody else have a crumb go the wrong way? :p

Yes! Another example of a bug, not a feature, that no sensible designer would have created!

The platypus is actually extremely well designed for its environment (even if it looks funny to our eyes). Marsupials on the other hand ... making itty-bitty embryos do a long-distance external crawl to a pouch is REALLY bad design. Especially in the cases involving forward-opening pouches (kangaroos, etc.). Downright sadistic, IMHO.

And I ditto [livejournal.com profile] timcharmorbien's comment ... considering what comes out of most peoples' mouths, I'd say the expanded-sound-range-in-vocabulary thing isn't worth the choking risk. :p
