Wow. Hard to believe, but your post actually took this thread down another peg. [/quote]

kinda what i was going for…[/quote]

What if trees could scream? Would we be so ready to cut them down?

Maybe, if they screamed all the time for no reason.

(that was from an old “Deep Thoughts”)

I had a dream once that certain humans could morph into one or two different animals. Other humans figured out how to lock them in the animal phase with a drug. They then started rounding them up and putting them in warehouse farms.

In this dream, I had the ability to transform into a black panther and an apple maggot, the second of which was great for hiding but a problem because the lifespan was so much shorter that staying morphed could result in death of natural causes pretty quickly.

In retrospect, I think we can all learn from this that reading fantasy novels while being a vegetarian is a bad idea.

they probably won’t be able to do much with their intelligence (if they are 4 legged beasts) because without the dexterity of the hands, which goes hand in hand with a big brain, not much could be accomplished. Much of our accomplishments rely on this interaction.

Body is what mediates consciousness with the world. Without the right kind of body structure, consciousness can never be fully realized to have an impact in the physical world.

As in:
Even though the Orca is committed to the ocean because of it’s structure, it could potentially be a smarter animal than humans.

OH SHIT!

We all need to save this pic and trace out the shapes and faces we find in the cellulite.

Winner gets a prize like, what… You pick.

Either way we should all get to work on this ASAP

I’m IN!

Here’s my entry. Essentially it’s just her leg, eating a leg, but it can be so many other things too.

I see the face of a young lady in her right leg…or it could be the profile of an old hag.

What do you think the animal’s version of the internet would look like?

They’d have ‘LOL people’ instead of ‘LOL cats’.
