      There’s also the weird decision to put a bunch of easily-bruised bones in your butt which would normally be used for a tail.

      I once had a creationist defend the coccyx as being necessary for keeping muscles together. That was fun.

      Yeah, it’s crazy to me that people believe we were “intelligently designed” when our food hole and breathing hole are so close that we can only use one at a time, and that our waste dumping grounds are right next to the amusement park.

      This is actually a result of changes to our larynx and stuff, which allows us to make such a variety of sounds when speaking. In other animals (and human babies), the air and food tubes are physically separated at rest. But in humans, our epiglottis can’t properly keep things separate because our larynx is further down in our throat.

      So, I’m gonna have to deny this request on the grounds that it will necessarily break the speech feature, which many of our users depend on heavily.

      A lot of Bioluminiscence, but Infrared light as almost in any living be, which we can’t see without special devices.

      Structural weakness not only in the lower back, but also in the knees. The human being still has many reminists of an quadruped, as one of the younger species. He still has a way to be optimized as bipedo. Lower back and knees are still not optimized for this, apart of some other static and organic problems. We are still in phase beta.

          Infrarojo is different from light visible only by wavelength and energy.

          Nothing to do with intelligent design, evolution is a self -regulating process due to environmental conditions. Given that the life of a human being is relatively long, naturally last generational evolutionary changes in a very complex organism, due to viable positive genetic variations, where a 99.99% is not, much longer until optimization. Somewhat more than 2 millon years isn’t enough for this, less with continuous changes in the environment and conditions. Simple organism with a short life cycle can optimize in days, but complex organism like humans can’t. Other beings have needed hundreds of millions of years for a perfect body, but with the price of already have the veto of evolving more. After perfection there can only be decay.

            Yes, I know, it bothered me as I decided to even answer, that’s why I also added the ‘long’ bit (as to imply a continuous flame) to blur the inaccuracy … but what can I say, the mental image of humans just going about their business with a constant flame out their ass just won.

            Still, you are completely correct.

                Perhaps if the initial combustion is happening deep enough within ones asshole then the light that escapes though the flesh (and not the gaping hole directly) can be considered as bioluminescence?

                Or does it need to originate from within the cells?

          The paper (which is very short) said 500-700nm and referenced an older (1997) paper that reported on a bunch of UV and visual emitting living systems. I looked there but didn’t pinpoint an answer. It did mention that the emission doesn’t usually have sharp peaks (as the reason they trade spectral resolution for sensitivity). It seems like the emitting molecules are large, so it’s probably pretty broad.

          Anyway… that made me nice and sleepy.
