Of course not. Since we have chosen to live in parts of the world where
the climate is not particularly hospitable, and since we have the
intelligence to create additional protection for ourselves, why shouldn't
we? And note that, with our higher intelligence, man is the ONLY animal
that does this.

Nope. Too cold up here in Michigan. Besides, for OTHER reasons all tied
up with morality, religion, etc. (NOT biology, which is what we are
discussing), I'd probably be arrested. In fact, I know a guy who WAS
arrested when he rather arbitrarily decided the local Lake Huron beach
should be a nude beach.

I USED to not shower much, and also had a beard, but I found that it
INTERFERED with me getting any. With that superior human intelligence, I
found a better strategy.

I never ONCE claimed that reproduction was the ONLY use for that organ. In
fact, it is QUITE clear BIOLOGICALLY that that PARTICULAR organ has at
least TWO intended functions. Rather efficient, don't you think?

No, but I do see how silly YOU sound. You've left the realm of logic.

The hands are made to manipulate tools, of which the computer is one. The
brain is meant to think, which it is doing. Nobody says you have to AGREE
with me, though.
