As far as I can tell being sick – as in physically sick – is the default physical response for a lot of issues your body and mind can’t work out between them.

Some examples:

• Getting off a double decker bus but being halfway down/up the stairs as it either brakes or accelerates – response: feel sick
• Having a play on a roundabout for 3 spins or so – response: feel sick
• Going for a ride in a car and not looking out the windows – response: feel sick

Can we not evolve a bit more so that we can have some better default responses? We understand why we feel sick in these situations but seem powerless to do anything about it!!

• You go out with some mates and drink copious amounts of diuretic fluids – good times

But here’s where your stupid anatomy lets you down:

• You leave the drinking establishment and immediately need to empty your full-to-bursting bladder even if you did so just before you left the pub – slightly inconvenient times
• You get home, crawl into bed and go to sleep. Then you wake up in the middle of the night with a headache, you bladder once again full-to-bursting and with an incredible thirst!! Come on body, my bladder contents (by this point) are at least 90% water why the hell am I so thirst!! – inordinately bad times

If you have been let down by your body and want to talk about it, please use the comment form below (no pictures please)

N.B. I might have used Anatomy in the wrong sense here but I was all out of words for what I really meant, sorry.
