Why aren't human babies born with the ability to walk?

Why can't I buy a six-pack of beer within a half-mile of my apartment?

If human babies were born with the ability to walk,
they might traipse off to the party store and try to
buy some beer, but since they'd just be little fellas,
they'd get lost or tired and it would just be a big
problem all the way around.

Will forced heirship make much of
a difference in my life?

 

[Ste11aeres]

Well, being a forced heir would be different than not being a forced heir, if that's what you mean. I don't know whether you will be a forced heir, or whether you are wondering whether you will be one, or whether you are referring to someone else's forced heirship, nor can I say how great a difference it could make.

Why do so many romantic comedies start of with a slideshow of scenes of some city?

Because the migraine germs like to party on Friday.

Why do so many romantic comedies start of with a slideshow of scenes of some city?

Romantic comedies start by showing cityscapes because
humor can be derived by the juxtaposition of incongruous
elements. Example = ballerina elephant.

The writers try to develop humor by placing humans with
longing/passion/affection in a situation that is terrifying/
ugly/inhumane.(aka 'city') The high contrast between the 2 elements
is meant to provide a pleasing & memorable, somewhat
fantasy laden story, sort of a fairy tale for 'grownups.'
