How were humans created ?
By Adam and Eve ? Wrong.
The Big Bang ? No – wrong again.
It was the Bods.
The Bods are human body parts, working away at Project Human Being – to create a prototype of the first human. They beaver away at their weekly project meetings – taking a proper project management approach to their task.
They’re all there – Brain (the Chair), Hand (Secretary) and Heart. This workstream is for Sex and Love - for which the two specialists, Penis and Vagina, have been enlisted for their expert knowledge.
Humanity: 1 – Love and Sex is the first Workstream of Project Human Being. Other Workstreams in the series are:
- Birth • Gender • Health • Death
Humanity will be instantly recognisable to all those who have suffered endless meetings – especially those pointless Project Management ones…and their PIDS, Critical Paths, Action Plans and Gantt Charts !
