If you could change one thing about nature, just one little mundane thing, what would it be? Not something that would make you all powerful, just something simple and/or cosmetic.
me… I think I could go for having a large meat-eating animal that’s primary form of transportation was bouncing. That would make for some good Discovery Channel watching when they do their “Beasts of the African Savannah” special…
and there you see the gazelle… unaware of it’s fate… <bounce> <bounce> <gazelle screams> <chomp> <bounce> <bounce>
I’d repeal the universal speed limit of ‘c’.
Or invent a star trek type transporter.
Men would be the ones to give birth. Women would have the cushy job of standing by and wiping sweat.
I always thought it would make life more interesting if kangaroos were 130 feet tall and glowed in the dark.
I’d make it so that women were attracted to fat creepy guys with unusual facial features. 
I’d love to live in a world where spinning bowties grew on trees.
Two things. And if one of them can’t happen, then the other can’t either.[ul][]Unlimited oil[]Burning oil does not pollute nature, nor does it cause global warming[/ul]
Intelligent rats.
That’d give us a good run for our money. 
The flimsier something was, the stronger it would be.
So, in a collision between a bicycle and an SUV, the truck would crumple like paper and the bicyclist would get away without a scratch.
A little old woman could take out a tank.
And skyscrapers would be made out of glue and popsicle sticks, tethered to ground with string.
I also think it would be cool to have gourds like they do in Xanth.
There would be no Vespula genus.
Life would be so much better then… for me at least.
Every living thing on Earth would go through a phase in life where it had wings, and could fly. Horses, cows, bananas, ocelots, journalists, cabbages, computer technicians. All whizzing about in the atmosphere for a bit.
Moderator’s Notes: Me? I’d move this thread to IMHO. And whaddya know, I can change that one thing. It’s good to be the king.
No more dried-out oranges!! Ever!!
My post disappeared! I assume that this was in reply to my post, so I think it was there, but now it’s gone! Deleted? What’s up?
Ah, must not have gone through, here it is:
Ever read Piers Anthony “Zanth” books?
Pillow trees, blanket trees, lady-slipper plants that grow real slippers, hypno-gourds, even the killer tentacle trees, etc.
BTW, welcome to the boards!
I know Xanth is spelled with an X instead of a Z.
Really. I do.
