How does Abe breath?

[Xavier]

We still haven't figured this out? Can't we just say that Abe can breathe and smell through his mouth. and that Abe may not have Sexual Organs due to his Class, but you do know that whether or not he does or not, hitting that thing hard would still hurt any part of your body. :P

The simpliest explanation is often the right one.

[aaj111]

Yes, but as well can the complicated ones be.

[glokstar]

Well... u dont make such a look when you are just hurt anywhere... but whatever. That look is specifically for hitting the balls.

[Jordan]

That look is specifically for hitting the balls.

Abe can't have made that look by hitting his balls. It clearly states on the Oddworld website that he has no sexual organs. Anyway, care for me to try that method... On you?
It does hurt your ass as well, so it could have been that.

Comedic effect.

[Zerox]

Probably internal, too, since there's no need for them to be outside. All they'd do is get in the way and be a weak point.

[Nate]

...like with humans.

Which is a point that I have seen used to prove against Intelligent Design, as what intelligent being would dangle the most sensitive part of a man's body out in the open. Goolies on the inside, that's the plan!

[/OFF-TOPICNESS]

[Bullet Magnet]

The evolutionary benefit of that is that sperm cannot be produced at body temperature. The testes must be kept externally to keep them cool. Maintaining their temperature- well, all guys know the different effects produced by hot showers and cold swimming pools.

[Nate]

But an Intelligent Designer would be able to come up with a way that sperm could be produced at any temperature. Even if you go swimming in liquid, hot magma.

Oh, why wasn't humanity designed by Steven Olds?!

[Xavier]

Yes, but as well can the complicated ones be.

actually I was agreeing with you...

[Zerox]

Because we weren't designed, we evolved. There's a big difference there.
Evolution didn't design for it to be that way, as most quadrepedal animals have theirs exual organs in the same or a similar area. So as we became bipedal, they remained in position, but became a weak point.
The reason they are so sensetive is since nerves evolved to help us feel pain and learn to avoid it, since an animals main 'purpose' is to reproduce, the sexual organs a very important and especially sensetive to tell the animal to particularly protect them so it can acheive it's goal of reproducing.
Make sense?

[Nate]

Ooooookay. Time for you to learn the definition of dramatic irony.

[Zerox]

XD
My theory's still good, though.

It's true about the Sexual Organs part because I saw that on the oddworld website that because Abe is of the worker class, he has no reproductive organs. Man does that suck for him!

[Andrelvis]

It sucks for the Mudokons too, as Abe's good genes won't pass on the next generation.

[moxco]

He has to breathe through his mouth. Isn't it a bit obvious? I mean, there isn't any other way he can.

Its oddworld, for all we now he could be breathing through his bum.

Abe can't have made that look by hitting his balls. It clearly states on the Oddworld website that he has no sexual organs.

Just because Abe has no reproductdive organs, it dosent mean he hasnt got balls.
He probaly has non reproductive balls. [In other words hes balls dont generate sperm.]

[Xavier]

Why should he have balls then?
Those are only for reproduction purposes.

[Jordan]

Yeah, he's right, and no one should start saying he has them for other purposes, it won't work...

[snuzi]

Its oddworld, for all we now he could be breathing through his bum.

Do you realize how many times that's been restated? Try being more creative next time, rather than going right for one of the sources of juvenile humor.

And if he were to breathe through there, his bone structure would be different, as it would have to accomidate the lungs closer to that opening, or different types of organs to lead to his lungs.

Testicales are present soley for reproduction, not for inducing pain when hit in any way. And seeing as how mudokons are infertile, testicles wouldn't be present.

[Sapphire]

My personal idea, totally unfounded except by just..practical purposes, is that Abe has no nose whatsoever. Look at the illustrations of mudokon skulls. There are no nostrils or any indication of something on the skull itself which would perform that function.

I always thought mudokons would have something similar to the Jacobson's organ of a cat. This is an organ stimulated during the process of flehming, which I'm sure most cat-owners have seen their pet do. When it smells something new, the cat opens its mouth and passes air over the organ for prolonged periods, so as to better categorize the properties of a scent. Since mudokons can CLEARY smell, what with going "phooh!" when they smell Abe farting, there has to be some method of sensing odors. Something that could be "smelled" as air passes into the mouth seems logical and uncomplicated to me.
