Counterpoint to the comic: evolution doesn't design poorly. It doesn't design. Even calling it a tinkerer is too much credit. More like a blind drunk fumbling around in the dark trying to crack a safe with a billion other dummy safes around. Even that's too much because the drunk is consciously trying to do something.
Secondly, a really cool design would have us convert wasted matter into usable resources, like your sweat being potable water.

I did that once by accident, but with a larger knife and the other direction.
It didn't hurt at all. I kinda went into shock, or something, cuz I felt fine. I rinsed and dried it off, after the blood stopped, I could look straight into my hand and see the innards. I could see the muscle and tendons moving when I moved my fingers. Could see some bone.
