Re: Footswitch for Memory Man with Hazarai?



I never understood why God did not give us 4 legs + 2 hands as all the 
insects have
most mammals, birds, amphibious and reptiles have a problem because they 
have to grab things with the mouth which was obviously not made for this
of those 4 legs we could then adapt two for additional hand jobs (no, 
stick to the subject!)
