    It's still cheaper than beer. Why is that?

    Don't know - maybe we should drink petrol.

    Even more - it's still cheaper than bottled water. So much for running cars on water.

    If evolution is true, why do we still have legs so long after the invention of the internal combustion engine?

    To work the pedals, silly. Obvious (Brake clutch accelerator in cages, brake and gearlever on bikes). You try riding a bike without legs!

    In that case it would appear that our legs have been a hindrance to further advance up the evolutionary ladder.
    If we didn't have legs then our brains would have to get bigger so that we could invent vehicles that don't need pedals to operate.
    There is no evolutionary pressure to get smarter - I certainly don't sense it anyway!

    More to the point, how come our legs haven't evolved into wheels?

    Until the Japs built cars, legs were an essential item.

    So we can still reach the pedals silly.
