Dr. Henry’s theory was proven correct, and the rest of them were put to shame. The theory went a little like this: everything in our body is the mirror image of the other half; not bilaterally, but bihorizontally. The belly button is the cut-off, or mirror. So for example, the biceps are mirrored by the hamstrings, the calves are mirrored by the forearms and the shoulders are mirrored by the buttocks. These muscles all evolved from the same primitive appendages, as back then, we had four legs instead of two arms and two legs. But what’s between the buttocks?, one might ask. This is where Dr. Henry’s theory hit obstacle number one:

"I’ll tell you what’s between them - the private parts", Dr. Henry said from behind the podium at the National Symposium for Scientific Theories. "But between the shoulders we have the brain, the face, all of what we use to symbolize ourselves as human. How could this be, unless one evolved from the other?"

Henry’s theory was of course justified last March, when he discovered a genetic throw-back in Argentina, whose body reversed the mirror polarities between head and privates, something like the genetics substructures found in our salamander-like ancient ancestors. The interesting thing is that the Argentine, who we’ll call Pablo, had a sack-like face between the shoulders, but underneath the layer of skin, were cock, balls and ass. They were in perfect working order, but they were incased in a mask of face-like flesh - quite similar to Michelangelo's “skinned”, self portrait in The Last Judgement. Between Pablo’s legs was a miniaturized skull, which had thoughts (kind of), vision (kind of), and was wrapped in scrotum material.
