After buying some snacks and taking them back to my office, I found myself standing in front of the door, unable to open it since both hands were full.
... which got me thinking...
The basic theory of EVOLUTION is that our body needs to change to be able to fit harmoniously into its environment. For example, whales didn't need fur in the water because it slowed them down. So after a few million years they were left with a very small amount of hair covering them which made them much more suited to their habitat. Now, with that in mind, what if these tumors that we keep cutting out of ourselves are actually evolutionary modifications due to our bodies' need to adapt to its environment? What do you think would happen to us if we perhaps left them alone? Would they actually grow into something we realised we needed?
I would grow an extra arm so that I could open the door for myself whenever my other hands were full.
John Mayer would grow a weird fingernail that came out of the joint of his right thumb and voila! No need to remember to bring any guitar picks! You've got one built-in.
Evander Holyfield would grow an uneaten ear.
*edit* Mike Tyson would grow a brain. Although that may be pushing it.
