..or how it might have been..

In a serious attempt to avoid work, how about a what-if evo thread?

How about if dogs had developed as marsupials. Think about the advantages of flank pouches. Man's finest could sit and be a convenient beer and remote control holder (for those of us too lazy to reach forward to the table).

Twin-necked giraffes has a certain appeal (of course with modern molecular biology, reality is just a short step away).

plus the dog would have a nice pouch to store birds in while out hunting.

..we may need to add on a prehensile tail (and not "dock" it) for full funtionality. Aaah, got to love the Darwinian process...

That sounds lovely, Fable. If we add in those cute little cat ears, and the ability to purr, then we may just have made the perfect woman

Oh, it does. Just look at some of the anthropomorphic types wandering around in the realtime text-based MUDs online.

Hey, that idea has merit. We do need enough to go around... BS, we need your help with this, get us a few of AC's hairs and you will have done a great service to mankind, and will have our eternal gratitude

Excellant. Now when I paw at her, she'll come after YOU with the shotgun

As for the evolution thing, anybody else feel like a third eye in the back of your head would be really useful?

Bioluminescence has not been made adequate use of. Perhaps reindeers should have developed red bioluminescent ofactory lobes after all. Humans with purple luminescent skin (wouldn't need UV lights a clubs anymore)....or nighttime candlelight for that matter...
