I believe that joke about cow winning the same competition is also correct?

Also, I guess lobsters are expected to have a pretty aerodynamic shape (or is it aquadynamic at that point?) 'cause, well, otherwise they won't be able to move efficiently under water due to it's density or something, I'm not a physicist.

Hydrodynamic is the word you're looking for.

My husband's work in R&D often involves him looking to nature to find ways to improve the efficiency of designs and materials. Evolution has done a lot of trial and error that often results in the most efficient way to deal with a problem, so giving a look to natural adaptions seems like a smart move.

And that's why everything that we've designed to solve a problem in our house is a crab.

God damn crab people!

I'm going to go out of my way to make my solutions more crab-like now. Maybe they'll get better.

A Jeep is one of the least aerodynamic things in the world.

Which would be fine if they were still used for their original purpose.

If you're stuck in mud with your wheels spinning, aerodynamics is the last thing on your mind, but you still might need enough space in the back for 8 sheep and a dog or six heavily armed insurgents.

They're just a bit shit for anything else.

A wrangler is basically driving a tipped over refrigerator down the highway. 0-60.. eventually. Sure does climb hills well though, and it's a blast to whip around in snow.

And they are also less aerodynamic than a cow.
