This morning at 3:30, I encountered a serious design flaw in the human body. I've been sick with a head cold for the past week. I've been feverish, congested and leaking snot. Yesterday I started to feel better, and I was convinced that after a good night's sleep I'd be back at 100%.
Not so.
When I woke at 3:30, and for the next hour and a half, I lay curled in my bed coughing mucous out of my lungs. Honestly, if the human body is such a marvel of evolutionary design, why does snot slide into my lungs while I'm sleeping? Snot shouldn't go in the lungs. It shouldn't be allowed. How can we as a species have spent hundreds of thousands of years on this evolution thing and not have bred this particular trait out of the gene pool?
I have a headache. I'm going back to bed. Later, I might spend some time shaking my fist at the sky. The rest of you should work at making better evolutionary choices.

This is actually a well-documented bug and we're hoping for a fix with the next release.
