Evolution..
I've always wondered why bipedal dinosaurs like Tyrannosaurus evolved such tiny arms.. How could it possibly be advantageous not to even be able to reach it's own mouth with it's 'hands'?
Maybe THAT is why they went extinct. Evolution reached a dead end when what seemed like an advantage turned out not to be so advantageous..
But then you look at birds, and they have no hands at all. At least, not in the form we think of as hands, having evolved into wings. They get by just fine without them, but I still can't help wondering if they would be just a little better off if they had wings AND hands..
Even if they would be a lot scarier that way..
