I'd always considered 2D as being up-down and left-right, with 3D adding near-far (not a technical explanation, I admit, but that's what you get for spending most of your time in geometry sketching fantasy scenes). Remember when Homer Simpson went 3D? He got depth, not the ability to fly. So, I have a hard time thinking of humans as 2D, though I suppose you math types would know better than I.
