Must've been evolution, because there sure wasn't a lot of intelligent design that went into that one...
the human foot (Score:3, Funny)
the human foot is the stupidest most ugliest thing. the shape is completely pointless, the whole 5 wiggling toes thing is absurd and useless. to say toes help us grip and balance is to argue from the starting assumption that the human foot its the best design, which it obviously isn't. a truly intelligent design would be something like pan from greek legend: hooves. now a hoof is smart
and the foot is also the most accessible argument against intelligent design in your rhetorical toolbox. i mean come on, look at your damn foot: how can you look at a human foot and NOT see that it was once a monkey hand for gripping trees coopted into the need to walk instead, and that this "foot" is a relatively "new" development in our monkey lineage?
next time you're confronted with an intelligent design moron, take off your shoe, resist throwing it at them, and show them your foot

There's still Sasquatch in North America, a population of Yeti in the Himalayas, the Australian Bunyip and of course the Belgians.
