Is there anything special about the placement of the kidneys?

Is there a reason they are where they are?

Yes, there is something special. I'll give you a hint, it has something to do with them being retroperitoneal.

I remember hearing my teacher say that the kidney placement is slightly oblique so as to allow the flow of liquid easily through the ureters... not sure about this, though.
