Back in the 1960s Popular Science & Mechanix Illustrated (IIRC) ran an article about re-engineering the human body. They had suggestions like a rib cage that was hinged like a clamshell to make heart surgery simpler, nevermind spinal articulation; and an eyeball in the end of you fingertip so you could look over the tops of the crowd at parades. What could possibly go wrong?

We're actually not far from that last one. And I'm wondering now if that wasn't in Mad Magazine.

Anyway, this Graham character is overspecialized. To solve the problem of cars not including a head and neck restraint like NASCAR uses. He would never pass the birth canal.

And those nipples are just gratuitous.
