Being higher thinking bipeds we are, you'd think we wouldn't bump into things, step on stuff, or trip as much as we do.

I mean, when was the last time your dog sideswiped the coffee table? Dogs don't even step in dog poo in the grass....and they have twice as many chances!

Because men have evolved to think about bewbs all day so they cant concentrate on other things like trying to avoid running into furniture, holes, etc.

That has nothing to do with grace. That has to do with luck. Keep it relevant before saying its "stupid".

We don't have tails to help us balance. That explains the tripping, but I'm not 100% on the other stuff.

I think tails make the biggest difference...they provide a lot of balance and counter balance.

Four legs allow for more stability but I've seen my dogs and cats run into objects all the time.

"Dogs don't even step in dog poo in the grass"

Yes, yes they do. Trust me, having dog **** tracked into the house happens.

Yeah it has something to do with logic. Run before or after the fast metal object goes past? um um umum ILL GO BEFORE - Boom. Yeah that was totally luck. I luck out all the time when i close my eyes and run blindly across the street.

When I come into my house , my dog runs around like crazy and runs into things and falls over. It is really funny. One time she got in the trash and a funyun bag got over her head and she started to run into walls trying to take it off.

As if that is a conscious decision. :roll:

And how you call someone separating grace from luck, "taking something serious", is a mystery. As if I were capslocking and kooking out.

Not graceful? Speak for yourself. It doesn't interest me, but I bet I'd be a really good ballet dancer if I wanted to.

But seriously, animals make mistakes. You would not believe how many times I've seen my cats run into walls.

I once chased a flock of geese, and about three of them tripped on their own feet and fell down flat on their faces.

I saw my cat misjudge a jump across the room, and I have seen animals fall off of things on accident several times; so much for the gracefulness of non-human animals.

My cat ran into the coffee table this morning, actually.

...though, she has one eye.

Bio_Spark

that made me lol.

anyway, humans are very graceful. Lets see a deer or cow do the things ninjas can do. Lets see a buffalo climb a tree. Lets see a dog take a knife and segment an orange. Lets see a poor little beaver take a gun, aim it, and shoot someone.
