I asked the crow out on my front lawn why he didn't have four legs. He told
me that creatures with four legs (including, notably, humans) were inferior
animals, and that creatures with two legs and two wings were obviously
superior to creatures with four legs. He claimed that this arrangement had
nothing to do with functionality in particular, and that functionality had
nothing to do with survival rates, and that survival rates had nothing to
do with biological evolution. He told me that none of that was necessary
since it was all operated from behind the scenes supernaturally. He said
that this arrangement of two legs and two wings was obviously an arbitrary
design feature by a designer not limited by any kind of natural constraints.
He then took a few more pecks at the dead, four-legged squirrel in front of
him, gave me a final look of superiority, and flew away.
And then I saw this dragonfly zoom by...
