Splicing genes
Word on the street is humans are supposed to evolve without appendixes soon, at least in geologic time. Humans are also supposed to evolve with one solid mass of foot, without separated toes (you may already know this from a web footed relative you met at the family reunion). It’d be like having those ninja shoes on all the time (you know, the ones from ninja turtles).
They also say that each generation is getting taller. Which is probably what happened to the dinosaurs. A few Generations from now, humans will be twenty foot tall (which would make our basket ball nets around twenty five feet tall), and totally able to dunk on a Diplodocus.
Here’s to hoping humans can perhaps evolve some chlorophyll in our skin because we’ll need to make oxygen somehow. I’m not saying you should go out and have sex with a tree, but if you do, bring back some leaf cuttings so we can splice the genes.

Wow, sex with a tree eh?

That would chaffe …
Adding chlorophyl to our epidermal cells, though … that’s interesting.

Then it WOULD be easy being green! Your time to shine, Kermit.

[...] Splicing Genes. Let’s start off with something fun. I don’t know if we’ll ever try to splice our genes with those from famous or successful people, but here’s at least one conversation that might result! [...]

Hehe, the brain of stephen hawkings, the godliness of chuck norris
