    i would like a very small elephant

    like, one the size of a chihuahua
    quoth did you not learn the lesson from jurassic park?

    there were no tiny elephants in jurassic park, what are you talking about

    do you mean that we shouldn't tamper with nature or whatever

    because i thought this was the thread where we asked for unrealistic stuff, not the thread where we figure out how to get things using dangerous science
    obviously you didn't read the same jurassica park i did.

    Old john hammond used to run around exhibiting a tiny elephant to raise money. It had a ferocious temper and was prone to infection around the tusks.

    also I am very proud of that monkey.

    Yeah, Quoth. He couldn't let anyone hold it because it might try and hurt them. It acted more like a rodent than an elephant.

    I was in second grade when the movie came out, and my mom wouldn't let me see it (for good reason).

    So I just read the book instead. Didn't actually see the movie for years.

    honestly, I got the book for cheap at a library sale, otherwise I probably wouldn't have ever read it either.

    Most of my scars are not terribly sexy, I'm afraid

    I'm working on that part

    A better idea would be aging to about 30 and then staying that way for about 70 years.
    Then you die of a heart attack.

    I'm talking about ending aging, like the ted talk by Aubrey de Grey, which would mean everybody stops aging and stays young forever, not just one person. Of course, I'm far less optimistic than he is about it being achievable in this century, which is why I post it in "Things you want, but will never have" thread, :P.

    It would be cool if aging was stopped and the only way to have a baby was for both the man and woman to yell "I, ______, WOULD ABSOLUTELY LIKE TO HAVE A CHILD FOR REAL" at the exact same time as they both came, and for them both to mean it.

    Sweeeeeeet.

    Obviously, population controls would have to be put in place, but I mean, in the world where actual, dedicated and wide-ranging research into ending aging happens science is basically a cooperative effort by all peoples to work towards Utopia, not like reality.

    Again, I'm posting in this thread about it.

    Don't you mean "smart enough to not use a toilet because elephants make big poops that will kill any pipes"?
    Like, if you teach this elephant how to poop in a toilet, it will know that it won't work out.
