A horrible thought I heard once and can never get out of my mind:

Our bodies originally had horizontal spines and everything hung down from it. Now we hold our spines vertically, but the internals now all hang wrong.

No idea if true (seems like it's simplifying eons of evolution), but it makes me very uncomfortable imagining it.

Nature: Bro, it’s fine. All the other animals will think you’re smarter if you stand up straight. You’ll look really cool too, all tall and hairless and shit. Chicks love that stuff.
