God and a some of his mates were having a few beers in a bar on the rings of a planet orbiting Andromeda, it was the usual pre-universal Christmas piss up. As usual, they had turned to arguing over the merits of the various souls, beasts and hairy tentacle things they had used to populate planets over the Millennia. Zeus maintained that his hairy tentacle things were by far the most stupid thing he had ever created, couldn’t spot a good thing if it came up and grabbed them by the tentaculum. God insisted that humans’ capacity for invention and discovery mixed with an inane concept of self-destruction marked them out as by far the most stupid beings ever to populate a planet.
They had a wager – Thor held the purse – each would populate a new planet with each of their species and see which was the most stupid. They agreed to meet back at the bar in a couple of tens of thousands of years – give ‘em chance to develop, evolve a bit.
So here we are, pre-universal Christmas at a bar on an outer ring of a planet orbiting Andromeda. God was full of it, accepting pats on the back from all and sundry. Zeus came in, face black as thunder. Hoots of derision went up from the immortals assembled around God.

“See” God boomed, “I told you humans would get to Extreme Ironing before your lot.”
I just have to ask the question. Why?
