Why do we have toes?

You ought to be more careful...
They say stubbing is bad for your eyesight.

...and painful.

Maybe you should get a futon, might be softer.


I'm off to me stables. Have a nice bath. :)

Ok how about we try to answer that too. :)

I don't have wisdom teeth :dork:

As well as a broken femur, my son lost most of one big toe in a motor cycle crash a few years ago. He seems to have compensated really well and doesn't have a limp. Latest injury - foot broken in three places after coming off a mountain bike. :(

Evolutionary dead ends for sure. At least toes keep your foot from falling over and you with it....

Talk to someone who has lost toes how much their mobility suffers. A friend of mine when I was a kid had a dad that lost a few toes and had to relearn how to walk, and to this day limps. Running was never an option....

Isn't the coccyx the most useless part?

Nerves lurk there ;)
But you can break it with few ill effects I'm told.

Frankly I believe wrinkles are pretty pointless.

might be, infact the other day I saw a radiography of a women who didn't have any coccyx bone(or at least it looked like it was fully attacched to the sacrum), and she never had any problem around that area. from what I know the muscles needed for pooping are attacched to the coccyx
