Day 14
at work.
Last weekend I had a 2 day course – the travel and effort much mollified by excellent Saturday evening company.
After another week at work it was yet another course.
This time was a doctor of physio doing some shoulder update wotsit. And for the second weekend it was a great effort. Loads of info and a grand and funny presenter. Really a good use of 2 days.
There was one specific bit that entertained me no end.
Right at the beginning of the weekend there was a series of 3 slides showing the evolution of the scapula from something like a chimp to us. He told a tale of using this in the US and someone stood up, shouted “That never happened” and stormed out.
He then went on to the next slide “Has evolution failed us?” to demonstrate that the shoulder blade is really not a good shape for us in our modern lives. So this idiot out-stormer missed the bit about how poorly the scapula fits our needs. So in other words, if you don’t believe evolution happened then you must therefore believe that the designer was so bloody useless that he gave us a stunningly badly worked out shoulder.
Ah the irony.
Only another 5 days to go before I’m allowed a day off.
