The Human Body Revision B

[MACDRIVE]

If you could improve on the design of the human body, what would you do?

Myself, I would have designed a stronger lower back, and automatic nerve regeneration so that paralysis and muscle atrophy would be non existent.

 

[iMeowbot]

Interchangeable parts that grow on organ trees.

How about all men being created equal with standardsized equipment?

 

[cait-sith]

The hardware is solid, it's the firmware that needs work.

Feeling inadequate?

 

[Abstract]

"Bravestar, Bravestar......eyes of a hawk, ears of a wolf.

Bravestar, bravestar......strength of a bear, speed of a puma!"

 

[MACDRIVE]

Feeling inadequate?

How about 2000psi hydraulic pressure too?

Better knees and hips, improved pancreas, completely rational thought.

What would the Revision B female look like?

 

[erickkoch]

I would remove nipples from men. We don't need them.

Yes, it might look funny at first, but we'll get used to it.

Edit: Oh, and I'd add night vision. I'm tired of stubbing my toe late at night getting up to get a glass of water.

Yow, I hope that comes with a way to avoid paper cuts!

I would remove nipples from men. We don't need them.

Combined with that 2000 PSI and paper cuts, those nipples could serve as a valuable self-defense mechanism.

^
That's a good point - I agree.

Night vision would be sweet.

That's not exactly what I had in mind, but at least we're keeping the thread going.

 

[riciad]

Indestructible teeth.

 

[Chundles]

Indestructible teeth.

Seconded - I just had my little (and only) filling for a chipped tooth fall out after many years. Off to the dentist on Wednesday...

Bugger - it feels funny.

 

[MACDRIVE]

How about never getting fat? Wouldn't that be sweet?

 

[Sesshi]

I vote for a new strain of bacteria to live in the gut which eats up all the potential fart-making gases.

If you could choose between that and a new kind of flatulence that killed all harmful airborne bacteria, what would win?

That would come in handy on dates I suppose ... Is that the best you can come up with?

 

[WinterMute]

How about a DNA cell replication systems that didn't break down over time and cause cancer...

...a heart that doesn't wear out...

...non-degenerative cognitive functions...

...indestructible connective tissues...

...adamantium skeleton...

...the ability to leap buildings at a single bound...

(yeah OK, that last ones probably useless)

 

[mad jew]

completely rational thought.

Never been to Germany? It'd get pretty boring.

 

[Sesshi]

I assumed the rest of the predictable wishlists such as regeneration, optimised cognitive functions, schlong the size of an aircraft carrier, etc would be invariably mentioned.

 

[xUKHCx]

limbs you can take off, especially good for economy class on planes

 

[c-Row]

Pfff... I wish some of my fellow country men would be a bit more rational...

 

[MACDRIVE]

There's a lot of room for improvement on the human body. The main thing would be for a better way of repairing itself after catastrophic injuries like someone would sustain in a war or from some arrogant machinery.
