WoW Forums humor – the whys and wherefores of character races

We know how you guys hate off topic posts but some guys at the QJ offices found this topic *cough*… interesting. The World of Warcraft Forums are clamoring for answers to various questions of importance, though this one from poster Docholphus caught our eyes along with so many others. His question?

Why do Draenei have such big butts?

Yup, you read it right. We’re sure a lot of toilet humor has come into the minds of some but it made us a bit curious. Aside from being from outer space and all, we really haven’t thought about why their behinds are gigantinourmous. A lot of players tried to answer the question –

• Pibroch (cosplaying as Tseric perhaps): Because we enjoy massive posteriors and we find it difficult to prevaricate.
• Dynamiterave (a female Draenei):  Bipedal + hooves = less surface area with which to support your upper body. Thus, you need stronger butt muscles to stand and move properly. That and I work out on a StairMaster for 2 hours each day. *flex*

Now Blizzard poster Drysc, who happens to have an Draenei NPC at Exodar named after him, had this to say, ” As you can see walking around the Exodar the Draenei almost always prefer to sit on the ground. They’ve simply adapted to this type of reclination and have developed adequate padding to cope.”

Well, Olafbloodaxe had other interesting questions.

• Why do female Draenei have bent backs?
• Why are Orc males 5 times the size of Orc females?
• Why do Dwarf Woman have such huge hips?
• Why do Dwarves have larger and more muscle-Bound arms than their legs?
• Why are the tentacles on Male Draenei considered “Facial (hair)?”
• Why are Blood elves constantly leaning to the side from the waist?
• Why can’t Undead find clothes that cover their arms?
• Why aren’t armour and weapons much more expensive and use more resources for Tauren in reference to Gnomes?
• Why are Troll males constantly slouching, but not the females?
• Why can’t Undead find a good comb?
• Why can’t undead wear a shirt over them to conceal their Spine?
• Why are none of the Gnome classes rely on Engineering?
• Why can’t LW BM ENGIES and tailors repair their armour (with the exception of Engies Repair bots)?

Stay tuned for the answers – or perhaps you’d like to supply them yourself.
