Centaurs don't make any sense

[Agent Panda]

Of all the mythical beasts Centaurs are the weirdest. I have so many questions

How long is their spines?

Do they have 2 stomachs?

Do they have 2 rib cages, 4 lungs and 2 hearts?

How do female centaurs work?

Where's the conceived Embryos are developed, in the human part or in the horse part?

How do centaur kids drink milk, from above or from the down under?

I mean minotaur and cyclops make sense if you think surgery gone wrong but centaurs are beyond understanding.

how does centaur babby work?

The Chimera is worse. The head of a lion, the body of a goat, and the tail of a snake. I mean, what the hell is going on there? I suspect a committee was involved somehow.

Japanese did something similar to the chimera(just with humsns) during world War 2.

disney characters don't make sense. to day they are dead tomorrow they are alive. the next day they are rebooted.

japanese monsters don't make sense. how can heroes fight gigantic versions of noodle/vegetable/fruit monsters?

There are many weirder in mythical beasts with ecological and dietary requirements that are utterly unsustainable.

The key point is this are fictional creations so you cannot expect realism to hold on deeper analysis.

With regards to Centaurs in particular, these were formed from early encounters with the expert horsemen of Scythia or Lapith of Thessaly. The mounted warrior Scyhians were so adept at combat and other feats on horseback that the legends of those that surived encounters rapidly grew to extremes of exaggeration combined with the maginative wits of the literate recorders of the times (i.e. Pindar)

The intention wasn't necessarily that there really were half-man half-horse, but the poetic vision of the capabilities, grace and mastery of the horseriders.

I think a lot of mythical creatures probably did exist and went extinct.

But where are their fossils?

Mermaids don't make a lot of sense either.

The human brain can not actually lie and make up 'new' things, rather it always must be based upon something it knows and understands.

This becomes interesting when it comes to myth and legends.

You will always find it part/part, such as a mermaid is part human and part fish.

Therefore there's nothing really to disprove, rather just separate and work out upon.

Most mythological creatures don't make any sense.

Good point.

Some could be made.

Welcome to world bio class! Today we are going to be taking notes on Centaurs

1. They are a genetically modified hybrid of a human and horse using CRISPR to replace/edit human skeletal and muscle genes to give humans the legs of a horse
2. As a result of this genetic manipulation the “horse” part of the body is just bone, muscle and keratin (with some exceptions, see below) including the secondary rib cage (with the places where organs previously were being hollow)
3. All reproductive systems are still located on the “horse half” of the body

In a world of Paris Hiltons and the Kardashians, you, a lifeform almost entirely comprised of oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus are claiming that "Most mythological creatures don't make any sense", on the scale of wierd ♥♥♥♥ that exists on this planet, mythological creatures would be far from top of the list compared to what actually exists.
