Anybody ever think about how humans are just very oddly shaped donuts?

That's not entirely true. We don't have just one hole going through us. Our holes branch. We have 3 intakes (2 nostrils, 1 mouth) and 2 outputs (1 anus, 1 urethra). If you simplified us down topographically, it'd be like you formed a donut around a starfish with the arms sticking out and then you just deleted the starfish.

We also have a bunch of doors on the holes.

So... you're saying we're houses.

...topologically. Geometrically, I'm more of a saggy tent myself

That's Dr. House to you, dear fellow lemming.
