Wouldn't it be awesome if humans had tails

arg-fallbackName="Abi"/>
Yes very, but it would really suck to get it caught in a closing door.

Also, chairs would need to have complicated shapes - or we wouldn't be able to sit down altogether...

But I'd rather like to have a tail than being able to sit ^^

Yes, yes it would but as long as we're adding things to ourselves can't we also have telekinetic ability's and other nonsensical things :p

What's so nonsensical about it?

Actually, I was referring to telekinetic ability's being nonsensical though I see how you took it like that.

Woah.

There are other parts of my body I'd change before I'd want a tail :p

Wings, now that would be awesome! Hmm, I wonder if we somehow could speed up evolution by controlling the environment and natural selection. Sort of like human evolution in a lab. I bet we could have humans with working wings in a few dozen millennia :D

I second the wings. Even if they were non funtional, I would still love to have them around to just flap and sort of use them like a fan on hot days.

Wouldn't it be awesome if tails_155 was a human? :p

Wings are boring. Although it gie you the ability to fly, wings are extreme unpractical. And, I'm also slightly scared by people with wings (like in the X-Men movies.)

What about wings that can't fly :eek:, then they're unpractical and useless. Now apparently Moky would just use them as a fan but that seems sort of pointless.

It's mostly just for the cool factor. A tail would be more useless than wings because we wouldn't need it for anything. It would just be there. We can use it for balance but our balance is pretty good already.

Useless unless you lived on the moon, or some other low-gravity environment large enough to accommodate them. I'm thinking specifically of Robert Heinlein's story "The Menace From Earth."

:D It was funy tough.
What is "funy tough"? Broken keyboard or impaired operator? :lol:

Here's the cover of the story I'm talking about, BTW:

Or we could just let those with the right mutations breed and don't let the others? :) Would take a long, long time... but not nearly as long as it would in nature.

And we'd know which ones to allow to breed by... well... I can't know everything :)
