Why are you glad to be a human? Or, maybe you aren't.

[efhmc]

These days, I am not so sure. Being a imperious eagle, flying around above it all seems really good to me right now Well, what is your choice? Do you still want to be a human or would you rather be another of the many creature that roams this earth?

[Mattforclark]

1. I'd rather be a grovelbot

Grovelbots are smart, and they can get smarter as technology advances, whereas humans just blow each other up more efficiently as technology advances.

[efhmc]

3. Maybe that is why I want to be an animal ,because I have no idea what

the devil a grovelbot is and I think I am better off not knowing.

[Gothic Sponge]

2. I'm not human......I'm an alien.

I was born in the Andromeda Galaxy. Well, maybe not...but i feel like i don't belong on this crazy planet almost daily.

[efhmc]

6. Hum, that must be a very reassuring feeling, considering the times we

live in.

[strategery blunder]

4. I am a barrel of oil

please don't kill people over me!

[efhmc]

7. Are you crude oil, or refined?

This makes a big difference socially.

[strategery blunder]

9. Iraqi crude (nt)

[efhmc]

10. Well, I guess that leaves you off of the WH guest list, Mr. Iraqi Crude.

5. Cats Are Very Smart

Nobody enjoys life the way cats do. When a cat stretches out after a nap, nobody - nothing - is as pleased with him / her / itself.

[efhmc]

8. I do so love cats, but I love most all animals. I do draw the line

at rats because they are icky and carry some really nasty diseases.

[undergroundpanther]

11. I am feline.

I'm a big panther in rainbow fur dancing with crackling rainbow lightning I got 2 big metallic horns and gorgeous multicolored iridescent wings.Puurrrrr!

[catzies]

15. Didn't I see you at Burning Man last year?

Meow! :P

[GOPisEvil]

12. Opposable thumbs. Vastly underrated.

I rather like being human. I don't have to hunt for my food.

I supposed being a pampered housepet wouldn't be bad either, but I like my thumbs. :-)

[efhmc]

20. Don't the great apes also have opposable thumbs? And if you lived

in a zoo, you could have all your food brought to you.

[SoDesuKa]

13. Walking Upright

Lili Tomlin said that man learned to walk upright to free up one hand for masturbation.

[MisterP]

14. thumbs; however, I am actively betraying humanity to the budgies

[La Lioness Priyanka]

16. i am not a human

i am a lap-lioness

[Canuckistanian]

17. I dig the ability to breathe oxygen and procreate sexually

Not like some anerobic asexual bacterium I could name....
You know who you are.

[efhmc]

19. But that does not make you exclusively human, now does it?

[bratcatinok]

18. I wouldn't mind being my puppy dog.

He's spoiled rotten. Eats the best of food, has his own chew cat, is loved by two loyal humans, gets lots of treats, both his humans are on constant lookout for new and better playtoys for him, he gets to go bye-bye at least once a day.

His only job is to protect us from the evil junior high school kids who go to school across the street from our house. So far, I'm proud to announce we've not been invaded by any evil junior high schoolers.

[brokensymmetry]

21. There are advantages to being human.

Ice cream. Fireworks on a warm summer night. The smell of roses. The sound of gentle laughter - or of the wind in the pines. The twinkle of stars on a dark, moonless, winter night.

But, then again, cats might argue for the joy of hanging out on the screen door....

[efhmc]

22. What a lovely image. Too bad we can't have that always in our head

instead of the image of hate and war that is constant these days.

[kodi]

23. I should have been a pair of ragged claws,

scuttling across the floors of silent seas.

with nods to eliot

in other words...ROCK LOBSTER!
