How about we come up with suggestions for humorous evolution possibilities, ie the tortoise with wings,etc.
please give a reasonable hypothesis for the possible mutations. (this thread is not for the arguement that evolution is right or wrong, so just funny ideas of mutant potential please)

Dolphins being able to fly.

They are already intelligent, so if they built up their jumping ability and bred themselves like racehorses they could fly.

Humans with dog tail and dog ears.

*most important part is, they'll express our feelings involuntarily .

So if you are scared the tail will go between your legs and you wont be able to stop it!

Personally I'm waiting for the day when animals evolve weaponry. I'm talking somewhere along the scale between Blastoise and Great Thing.

How about a dog that evolves to be able to speak, so he can tell his owner "sod off and go for a walk yourself, is pi@*ing it down out there"

What if ants evolved the ability to work together?

We'd be so fethed!

There are a lot of fething ants in the world, if they worked together it would be like the orks uniting or something.

And just as easily dealth with through the judicial application of Flamethrowers!

Now I for one am terrified by Octopi. Stupidly intelligent, boneless.....so no doubt one day they are going to become land based creatures and I will spend my days up a tree shrieking.

Bear Cavalry. As in bears with guns riding other bears.

Oh crap, the furries have reached Dakka.

Sharks with legs. Some of the stuff they could eat can't swim.

Thats exactly what I thought!

However, the number one evolutionary possibility are sharks with frickin "laser" beams attached to their frickin heads.

Me evolving into...Your Mom

Furries are even worse than 40K cosplayers and Tyranid rape stories.

I think that after we are gone, Raccoons will evolve into intelligent beings. They already have opposable thumbs, are omnivorous and highly adaptable. But the intelligent Octopi would also be pretty cool.

Also, the whole flying tortoise thing was already done in discworld.

Pratchett is my hero!!! Shame about the parkys, kudos to him!
wonder if we're still evolving, or maybe just devolving! probably end up a fat race of multicelled internet connected pale skinned hermit crab like creatures. hopefully will have bristles on the end of my fingers, so I don't have to use crappy GW paintbrushes. hmmmmm, wonder what the missus would think to that? anyone got any brush cleaner?

Flying...BIRDS. That would be absolutely crazy.

No it wouldn't! It would terrifying. I hear there is already a subspecies of Ocotpi who hunt on Beaches, having learned to hold their breaths.

If you think it's so cool, I shall ensure the tree I shriek from is right outside your window!

I mean, with Octopi, due to lack of bone structure, you can't kick it's head in! And it has no teeth to boot out. Cricket Bats would be useless! USELESS I TELL YOU!

doc, thats where the wacker plate comes in handy

But without the satisfying crunch of bone, how I am meant to fuel my psychopathic rampage against the eight limbed freaks?

Wrap it in barbed wire. Shred those mothers...literally.

But then i risk getting Octopus Juice on me, and despite there being no evidence, it's a scientific fact that having Octopus Juice make contact with human flesh means the Octospores will slowly turn me into an Octopus myself!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

*runs up his tree*

What if squriels evolve, after eating too many gm acorns and you get giant swuirels, with a penchant for eating cars or something. You'd be chuffed if you woke one morning to find you car had been buried somewhere, where would you look for it??

Don't be dissing my foot soldiers against the Octopi menace....I've been busy up this imaginary Interweb Tree you know!

oh dear, if your octopi start eating GM squirrels, who knows whats gonna happen!

They are strictly Vegan.

I'm sensible like that!

Oh. You meant the otherway round. I shall simply have to breed the squirrels to have toxic fur. That'll mess up the squishy horrors!

Cricket Bats? Like, crickets with wings that live in caves and fly around with radar vision?

How about waterbears?



Those things can live in outer space!

No, Bearspiders would really feth our gak up.
