pfft, obviously have hands at the end of my legs. Who wouldn't enjoy having legs like monkies!

Makes me wonder why we lost them in the first place.

Well, you could raise an island from the ocean floor if need be. But it occurs to me that the literal reading of this specifies a "patch of land", so it makes sense that the random location would not be in an ocean or lake.

I found a website that serves up random locations on Earth and kept clicking until the first one that was on land. I got a spot just inside the northern edge of Bandingilo National Park in South Sudan. Looks like a pretty nice place, and not too hard to get to (I'd hate to have hit a spot in Antarctica or the heart of the Sahara or something like that). The local political situation could be a bit tricky, though, South Sudan is wretchedly poor and wracked with civil war. I'd probably want to keep a low profile.

They're hard to walk on. Picking this option will mean that walking will be very tiring and potentiallty painful for anything other than short distances. Still one of the better options here, though. :)

You might be able to get special shoes to help with the issue. Worst case, you can use a wheelchair/scooter/segway.

You would lower the risk of injury if you balled up your hand-feet into fists. And you can always tape your ankle-wrists.
