How can i cable manage my body?

Post funny things about programming here! (Or just rant about your favourite programming language.)
No seriously, evolution fucked up it's cable management. iirc, there's a nerve (essentially the biological equivalent of a data cable) that has an extreme detour, going from the upper neck, looping under the aorta (more or less the largest blood vessel), and then back up all the way to the throat. In giraffes, it's 4+ meters going down the neck and then back up. That is horrible cable management and can actually cause health risks/complications for certain surgeries
The nerve is called recurrent laryngeal nerve if anyone wants to read up on it
