Bob, watch the Alan Watts video linked to above. The Chinese character is a crane.

You might want to bookmark it for later viewing. When you're in a more "meditative" state.

Ommmmmmmm...

The why from WIki:
A crane's body is covered almost all over with feathers to keep it warm. But the crane loses heat through its legs because there are no feathers on them. To save as much heat as it can, the crane stands on only one leg and tucks the other one up against its body. Most birds rest their breast on the ground or a tree branch and tuck their wing when they sleep. Cranes and some other water birds often sleep standing in water. They stand on only one leg so that they can reduce loss of body heat as much as possible. Cranes can even stand on one leg all night and it doesn't bother falling down.
The How:
Tracks show three toes facing forward and one facing back. The large hind toe enables them to stand on one leg for long periods of time.
