I think I'd put human-looking boobs on Canada geese. That way, you could point and laugh at them.

2. I'd give pigeons asthma.
So that they would cough up a lung when you kick 'em.

3. A sensible proposal.
They're gonna get kicked anyway, so they may as well do something hilarious. :thumbsup:

That way they couldn't poop on my car.

8. Squirrels would get built-in helicopter blades and winches with grabbers.
That would be fucking awesome!! Squrriels flying all over the place, hovering in front of the bird feeders or using the winch to reel in a cob of corn off your plate while you eat outside and have turned aside momentarily.

Brilliant!

9. I think it would be pretty cool to have a tail like a cat.
Since I'm not very graceful to begin with, perhaps it could help my balance. :rofl:

11. Why geese, why not put them on boobies?
Then we could laugh at the redundancy too. The redesign would work on different levels. Yeah.

13. I'd give alligators propellors on their rear left and right sides
so you'd get these massive jaws flying at you in front of 10 foot tall rooster-tails.

That would be awesomer.

15. I'd make them all inedible in any situation.
Nah, I'm just joking. Sorta felt a little "had to do it" here.

I'd actually like to make it so dogs could talk. They do so much positive stuff to help people. They guard, they assist the handicapped, they can smell a melanoma cell. It'd kick ass if they could communicate with people so that we could understand them clearly.

No more "dog drags mother and kids from fire" as that's rare, and more often it's "dog, mom and kids die in fire"

If the dog could talk, the dog would be like, "hello, 911? family dog here, and we have a fire. move yer asses!" all the while screaming "wake up you two-legged idiots!!! save the dog food!!"

33. dogs only 'save' the family when there ISN'T a doggie door
their 'loyalty' doesn't extend far when their own lives are in peril.

19. i'd love that!
I've made my backyard squirrels fat -- and i'd love to know what they're saying when they gather around me to give them peanuts.

i wonder if any of them say -- ''peanuts again?"'

20. Hmm, Canadian who likes squirrels
Stab in the dark and probably wrong, but... Steve?

If you're thinking to yourself "WTF is this idiot talking about", then that means I'm wrong. If you're like "Oh shit, where the hell is that ignore button", then I'm right :D

17. I'd give cats opposable thumbs.
(Or would that be too dangerous?)

I'd also make them live as long as people.

28. That would be okay with me -- no different than my life now.
Last night my husband said: "You let kitties walk all over you, both literally and figuratively."

Yep -- damn straight. Kitties own me. :loveya:

24. Dogs who are toilet trained from birth...
and whose barks cannot be heard by anyone connected with the condominium board, owners or management company. It's been at least a one-dog night around here since Saturday and I would love to have a dog in general. Damn near dognapped my niece's dog Sunday evening. Funny thing is, I think that dog would not have objected to me taking him home.

26. I'd make wee tiny could-hold-in-my-hand elephants. With remotes.
So if I *wanted* them to be all normal elephant size (y'know, like a party trick or to cut in line at the 7-11 or something) they could do that, too. :thumbsup:

31. Loved the Larry Niven novel
where there was a cross between a kitty and a boa constrictor. Kitty head, snake body covered in fur. You could sort of wear it like a living scarf.
