Ever think of what could be the stupidest invention ever? Probably not. Just random thoughts really. What could be the most pointless and stupid thing to ever invent though? A braille driver's manual? An ipod for the deaf? Running shoes for the disabled?
This silly kind of pointlessness isn't actually limited to us simple humans though. There's a good deal of pointlessness in the animal kingdom too. Pandas for instance. Here's an animal that has evolved to fail miserably. An animal that kind that is incapable of helping itself even though its survival depends on it. Its so damn lazy that it has evolved to rely on humans saving them through artificial insemination, just because it's cute. And why is it so damn lazy? Because of its diet. The only thing they eat is bamboo which has about as much energy and nutrition as a stack of printing paper. Don't get me wrong, I love pandas, but really... how on earth has this animal lasted this long?
It's a curious thing isn't it evolution. How animals evolve the traits and abilities they do... just consider the duck-billed platypus...
