This comment is competing with my Elbonia comment for most hilarious in
this thread, and I think I may be losing.

You see my point, of course:  reaching up-left is slow and awkward;
bicycling 5 miles is faster and less exhausting than walking 2 (it takes
the same amount of energy to walk 1 mile as it does to bicycle 7 in the
same amount of time).

The menus would belong in the top-right if they weren't variable-width
and, generally, wide and complex.
