Why do men have nipples?- Questions that stump theists

I'm often stumped myself at how amazingly bold some creationists can be with their arguments. It seems no matter how many blunt facts you have a creationist will always fall back on the "Miracle Clause" and call it a day, however one question that always seems to get under their skin is simply "Why do men have nipples?". Don't get me wrong, I know officially why men have nipples. Human embryos create breast tissue before a gender is even chosen, it's somewhat of an evolutionary efficiency. You could say it's a little bit like those square space fillers in the dashboard of your base model car where all the cool stuff would be if it were an LX model.

The problem I have is that if God in his/her infinite wisdom and omni-potency really designed us, then why oh why did he give men nipples? They serve no purpose to men whatsoever if anything they are a weak spot (you know what I'm speaking of if you've ever been "purple nurpled")

Also included in the list of useless human appendages are wisdom teeth and the appendix, as well as countless vestigial appendages in the animal kingdom that stand out (winged turkeys, snakes with nubs where legs have evolved away, etc.), but for some reason male nipples seem to throw any Creationist off his or her game and get right too the "God has his reasons don't question him" type clause.

I encourage comments but please be prepared with a little more than just miracles as the base of your argument.

American Express and the Free Cookbook Scam

I realize it's not the first time this scam has come around. It's pretty common among book clubs as well as CD/DVD clubs. Most people are aware that when they get that first free DVD, there will no doubt be many to follow at full price. The trouble I have with this particular situation is that it came in the form of a "Free Gift" from my financial institution, American Express.

A free gift? Whats the catch? I've got enough cookbooks collecting dust in the cabinet to bother with adding another one, but I was curious to see if American Express was actually rewarding it's loyal customers for all the 22% finance charges they'd been pooling into the company all these years.

According to the advertisement, all I need to worry about is the $2.99 shipping and handling charge. SWEET! (I'll be going over my feelings toward the 99 cent scam another time, but for now I'll stay on topic). Not entirely satisfied, I decided to look further and check out the order form. I flipped through the papers also contained in the envelope until I found it.

So there it was, the order form. After all these years as an American Express card holder I'm finally getting my due! A Pre-checkmarked square confirming (Most people find the act of checkmarking boxes to be bothersome, so my good friends at amex went ahead and saved me this grueling step) "Yes, send me my Free Gift! -- the 2010 FOOD & WINE Annual Cookbook--a $29.95 value." OK amex now you're just over hyping this thing. I mean, isn't the internet just one big free cookbook anyways? Not the point. Moving forward.

"My cost is $2.99 shipping & handling, which will be billed to my American Express Card Account"

Thats convenient, I mean, it brings my total up to about $3.64 after finance charges are added to it but ok, still a good deal for a cookbook valued at $29.95 (by the way, has anyone ever spent this much on a cookbook?) . OK heres my favorite part now.

"I will also enjoy Cookbook Series privileges convenience of receiving advance notice of future books. If i wish to accept the book being offered, I will do nothing and the current retail price (currently $29.95) plus shipping & handling will automatically be billed to my American Express Card account. If i do not want the book being offered, I will simply return the advance notice card within 14 days. All prices are subject to applicable sales tax. "

Yes! Finally true American convenience! I don't even have to think about buying crap I don't need, Amex is going to send me the crap I don't need, and bill me for it at $29.95 + shipping and handling + a finance charge.

I suppose I may be a bit over dramatic here but people do fall for this sort of thing all the time and it just seems a shame that companies are willing to betray our trust for a few extra bucks. If you have any similar experiences please feel free to share them in the comments.
