It’d be nice if women developed a clitoris on the roof of their mouths.
What? You weren’t thinking it?
Liar, yes you were.
I was WAYYYYYYYYYYY off target. It was this month’s Fortune magazine - and trucks put more than 400 billion miles a year bringing consumables to market. :smack:
My apologies to you truckers for shorting your work by more than 360 billion miles a year.
Science has already blown it by not getting us flying cars by the year 2000.
As for the military guys with beards - it’s not that they can grow beards, it’s that they don’t have to shave every day. The growth still needs to be kept way short (as ananalogy, compare a crew cut to a regualr head of hair. It’s noticably shorter, but not shaved bald.) And there are regualr reviews by the medical staff of the guy with the “no shave chit”. It’s not something you get once and keep for the rest of your time in.
I have got to get a new keyborad. Or learn how to type.
I had a coworker that did that. I don’t think he was more evolved, though…
Internet perversion blows my mind again…(TMI)
Go ahead. Try to resist the link.
Full of a fun discussion on cetacean porn, dolphin rape, then toward the end there’s my mind-scarring account and a brief discussion on what dolphins can do with their prehensile penes.
You’re not this guy in real life, are you?
Apparently dolphin boners can badly bruise one’s leg. Though, in my opinion, anyone who sustains this injury in the manner decribed has brought new meaning to the phrase “asking for it.”
Dammit, I didn’t see the second comments page. Lightray beat me to the dolphin penis by almost 12 hours.
Yup, nothin’ worse than getting beaten to the ol’ dolphin penis.
What the hell am I talking about?
Getting back to the OP (although dolphin porn is also fun), assuming caveat_lector is of the Caucasian persuasion, evolution is going in the direction of more facial hair (or was, until people started moving around so much). Caucasians have more facial and body hair than most other “racial” groups, and this seems to be a derived characteristic (i.e., they started with less and then got more). Given the present near-universal availability of razors, though, evolution is probably not doing much on this front anymore.

What about getting beaten by the ol’ dolphin penis?
Stolen from Ron White:
Chocolate flavored semen
Can we stop having allergies already? And tooth decay? Also, no more bladder infections. In fact, why not just a perfect immune system while we’re at it? I would also like the ability to not have to pee so often. Super-sized bladders! That’s what we need!
Plus the ability to manufacture any drug we want using our specially-evolved glands. And the ability to change sex at will. And the ability to fly, and a photographic memory and perfect hand-eye coordination regardless of intoxication level. Photosynthysizing hair, we would solve world hunger right there. Oh, the ability to regrow limbs and internal organs, too!
Am I asking too much?
Hey, I’ve had photosynthesizing hair. I don’t recall being any less hungry, though. I do remember that I had to shampoo with Woolite.
Hrm. I seem to have been an evolutionary mutant. I shoulda applied to join the X-Men while I had my chance!
But I was forced to shave my beard when my lady said it tickled her thighs too much.
I really, really can’t believe I’m the first with this…
For men, multiple orgasms (within the same evening, that is).
For women, it would probably be men who could actually listen - or at least find things for themselves.
You’re not. You’re just a page late:
Oh. Right.
- Telekinesis would be very, very nice.
- An optimized metabolism, where I could eat what I want, as much as I want and my weight would not fluctuate more than 3 pound either side of optimum.
- Hi, Opal!
Or you could become a spy and go undercover on secret missions to Barsoom.
Eternal youth and health would be at the top of my list, but there’s a great feature from science fiction I always thought would be handy snerk.
James Hogan’s Ganemean giants had 4 fingers on each hand just like us, but they had 2 opposable thumbs, one on each side of the fingers. Hogan points out that they’d be able to tie their shoes one-handed with ease.
