An Alternate Human 450
B0b Barker writes "What has six limbs, a prehensile tail, its brain in its chest, and reproductive organs in its mouth?

Perhaps you're talking about moving to a sitting position, on a flat surface, but I think having our knees go the other direction would make sitting on a chair extremely difficult -- where would I put my feet, slung over my shoulder?
