If we take the thought of evolution serious there is no aim, there are just traits that work...earlobes are not a disadvantage, so why should they go? (Probably they are even advantageous in terms of spouse approval )
Or at least spouse attraction.

If a killer earring, or two, or three, can catch someone's eye, earlobes could be highly advantageous. Plus, who can argue that they are not another erogenous zone?

Or at least the ability to read a liar's mind. (Thus allowing for no more trumps.) 🙂

Wisdom teeth are disappearing, my dentist told me. Don't need them any more. Some people have 'em, some people don't (I don't mean because they got pulled--some people never develop them).

On hearing this I have moved my wisdom to my bicuspids, just to be on the safe side.

For sooth, some have more wisdom in their little fingers than others have in a month of Sundays.

(For this reason, I eschew the Spirituality Forum religiously.)

Wisdom can often be located lurking in the corner of some independent coffee house.

As a child I was brought up on the horror story from my nan that an earwig once bit her on her finger and she had to burn it off with a cigarette.

I'll take my chances with the killer earing.

I want a third hand. Two just aren't enough. Maybe on a flexible arm like an elephant trunk.
LOL@ Kewpie, could very well come in handy at times!!!

The only observation I have after watching evolution in action for many years is that the human race has not evolved at the same pace.

<Before most of you who hang out in the debates or spirituality forums get offended, this was intended as a sarcastic joke.> 🙂

A friend when I was growing up once fixed (not sure how exactly) a small gherkin to his younger brother's arm when he was sleeping and managed to convince him when he awoke he was evolving into something unnatural.
