Another original thinker?
OK. I'll bite. Where did I bring it up?
I just experienced a one word induced chuckle. Thanks for the laugh :o)
Are you saying that you didn’t bring it up?

I work with a group of very intelligent engineers. Logging in to see your thread serves to renormalize my thinking on how big the intelligence gap in the world is.

Oh no he di’nt! He dropped the “intelligent” bomb on ya.
It looks like GGG has found yet another person to belittle in the name of sweet baby Jesus. Don't take it too personally, its probably just compensation for some personal deficiency or transgressions.
No problem. We go way back. He even dedicated a thread to me once a while back! AFAIK, that was the first one he dedicated.
I shouldn't have said that. Now he is going to dedicate every thread to someone else!
I didn't say that. I said please refresh my memory.
He is probably a little irritated that I have stopped calling him “Bro”. Nothing personal, I have been working a little too much and slacked off on the personal stuff but I will try to be a little more sociable.
“Get a life!”
Sorry. I meant to say, “Get a life!” Bro.
No refreshments for you. You really need to take better care of the few remaining teeth in your mouth.
Although it seems unlikely to me that I could, it is even less likely I'll ever be completely sure.
Poor old fool probably doesn't realize he is actually driving people away from his position by his demeanor and belligerence. Does any sane or rational person believe that is what God wants?
It’s too late to find you data. But I can give you a very quick bit of reasoning.
two legs are more efficient than 4. A human foot is the most efficient foot in existence. (hopping bipeds have very efficient leg sinews...ie kangaroos and such)
straight legs are more efficient than bent legs. A straight legs resists gravity(at rest not in motion) primarily by compression forces resisted by bone...NO ENERGY EXPENDITURES REQUIRED. A bent leg resists gravity by way of continuous tension forces in muscles that resist bending of the bent joints.
A human being is essentially a pole sitting atop two pole like legs. A quadruped is essentially a beam held up by two crooked poles at each end of the beam. The beam is held straight by constant muscle action, and the 4 crooked poles are held up by constant muscle action. Muscle action IS CONSTANT CALORIC CONSUMPTION.
Humans have more stored body fat as a percentage of body weight than do horses.
In a death march between a human and a horse, the human would choose a speed slow enough to take advantage of his “at rest” efficiency advantage over bent leg quadrupeds. Also, a human’s ability to carry small amounts of food and water on his back or around his neck is a huge advantage. Maybe that’s cheating, but a human has the ability to cheat. A horse does not.
So the death march becomes a starvation contest in which the human is permitted a small amount of cheating and the horse is not...and the human has a more efficient body structure...and the human has more fat stores.
It’s no contest.
Dismissed.
Tellya what smartass...
Go find me data that I’m wrong.
Til then, “dismissed”.
Ha ha. is that the best you have?
He sure is trying to drive me away.
