When God created Adam and Eve, He said: I only have two gifts: One is the art of peeing standing ... And then Adam stepped forward and shouted:... ME!, ME!, ME!, I would love it please ... Lord, please, please! Look, it will make my life substantially easier. Eve nodded, and said those things did not matter to her. Then God gave Adam the gift and he began to shout for joy. He ran through the garden of Eden and used it to wet all the trees and bushes, ran down the beach making drawings with his pee in the sand ... Well, he would not stop showing off. God and Eve watched the man crazy with happiness and Eve asked God: What is the other gift? ' God answered: Eve,..... a brain ... and it is for you ...!

For a few fleeting seconds we might pause to wonder at what the world might have looked like if men never existed.
Women huddled in caves wearing bark and woven grass to keep warm. Seeds, roots and larvae for food. Superstition rules. Meaningless over the top flattery and continuous in-group and out-group wars resulting in regular banishment and tribal splits.
If only one of those risk-taking, foolish children with one of those little teapot spouts could be born to invent engineering, take the risks, do the hard yakka, shoulder the dangerous, dirty, disgusting and downright nasty responsibilities and always be dispensable.
