I don't think you're wrong about that (unfortunately..)

I trust QI (I mean, who in their right mind wouldn't trust Stephen Fry?!
), and in that case, I stand corrected. But my initial argument still stands. The long neck was beneficial in some way and made the species more successful, otherwise giraffes wouldn't look like that today.
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
