Which species will you uplift?

gods but i hate it when miss magnolia does that. :eek: :eek: :eek:

creeps me the hell out. what IS she seeing that i’m not??? spirits? seismic activity?? my next door neighbor farting? WHAT DOES SHE SEE???

:o

oh, yeah. sorry. got sidetracked. back to the thread.

cats, of course, because we humans must be carefully controlled before we completely trash the planet in spite of ourselves and endanger every other living thing on it. cats are already wise and will make wise rulers. :smiley:

Not so! I saw a documentary once which gave an account of a particularly nasty lagomorph that gave a number of martial arts experts a run for their money.

Take it you’ve never had a male rabbit for a pet.

Or a female rabbit with a pseudopregnancy and a territorial streak.

Gotta agree with this. Not that I’m especially enamored of elephants, but as far as I can tell, they’re already the smartest land animals that are not primates. Give them a few fingers on the nd of their trunks and they could operate some machinery.

BTW I agree with those arguing against uplifting more primates on the grounds that it wouldn’t really add anything, since we are already primates.

Africans have two, Asians only one.
They only don’t pick you up and through you across the lawn because they are afraid. If they could figure out how to get away with it, we’d be in deep trouble.

Elephants are dangerous alcoholics already. The only thing more dangerous than a drunk elephant is a smart drunk elephant.

Superhuman strength + 'roid rage + tool use = a bad idea.

Squirrels.

I’d really like to know what they’re always chittering about. :slight_smile:
