Making decisions

[el_guitarrista]

The difficulty of making decisions, for the rationally inclined, increases with the horizontal nature of the scales in which you are weighing the pros and cons.

A hedgehog is any of the small spiny mammals of the subfamily Erinaceinae and the order Insectivora. There are 15 species of hedgehog in four genera, found through parts of Europe, Asia, Africa, and New Zealand. There are no hedgehogs native to the Americas or Australia.A hedgehog is any of the small spiny mammals of the subfamily Erinaceinae and the order Insectivora.

Obviously, without hedgehogs to serve as indicators of the balance of our logic, we are incapable of sound decision making ... this explains a great deal

That's a shame - hedgehogs are useful in all kinds of analogies!

Consider their natural defense mechanism - to curl into a ball, lifting their spines to form a pricky deterrent to predators. Unfortunately, this evolved defense, fails utterly when confronted when the threat comes from the car bearing down behind the twin sources of light that are the percieved danger.

We have armadillos occupying the ecological niche of hedgehogs ( although their legendary tendency to roll up in a ball, I was informed by a zookeeper, is pure fiction ) Their inadequacy when confronting automobiles has led to this joke (insert hedgehog for armadillo in your neck of the woods ):

"Why did the chicken cross the road?"

"To prove to the armadillo that it could be done"
