He *does* have a sharp nose, doesn't he? smiley - smiley

I can only think that it reduces drag. Did God design this one using a wind tunnel? smiley - biggrin

Hi there Icy North! Thanks for your comment. I hope there's no rabid evolutionists here or you might get lynched for using the words 'God' and 'design'! On the science sites I frequent for instance it turns out these days you can't even say something such as a dolphin's shape being the ideal 'design' for minimising drag while swimming. You dare not use the word 'design' or anything that implies there's a purpose or plan to evolution or morphology! I quite believe in evolution but I think this is going a bit far. I do really think that there is more to this than merely living things being molded to their environments. In particular if that was all that evolution did, then *we* would not be explained by it. But anyways! Thanks for reading the entry.
