Where would you be without ears? Probably exactly where you are now, but with slightly less awareness of how loud computers can be. Wonderful bloody things, ears are, and if you didn’t have them, then you’d probably grow your other senses to compensate, able to smell farts from a million miles away or see through walls. But never mind, let’s take the time to appreciate ears and all that they’ve brought to the world.

Let’s hear it for the ear!
