I wonder which group I'd end up in. I like to consider myself intelligent, but I'm only 5ft and half an inch, so might well get sidelined into the dumb bunch. lol

I thought the human species had already split in two: Me, and Everyone Else. This must be a further sub-division he's talking about.

That he feels we won't have killed each other off in the name of god - even the atheists - and/or rendered the planet unfit for habitation in the pursuit of profit within the next century, let alone 10,000 years I found laughable.

Until I saw who'd commissioned the report.

But as a Writelink idea for a competition [Imagine you have been commissioned by (you choose) to write 1000 word article on 'The Future Of Mankind'] this could be a serious contender.

Stand proudly erect as I do Lo, and you might just make top group!

Hmm. Interesting.

Like Lo, I have to wonder where I'd fit. Would I have to trade in my IQ or my short fat hairy legs?

I've always liked homo-erectus as a species, but not at the expense of some intelligent conversation. As for short, fat, hairy legs - I'm not trading mine in, no matter what!

Short-arsed dim-wits unite, I say. Who wants to be a 7ft 120-year-old anyway?

Well I'm 5' 3" so that's me destined for the sub group. Mind you I think I already belong to the underclass. My family have thought me off my head for years since I often have perfectly normal conversations with my dog and horse.

We have enough people here to start a club. Short arsed dim-wits over superraces - or SADOS for short.
Sorry Dids, you can't join us if you keep growing the way you are.

Do you want me to put an appeal for members in the next Writelink newsletter?

Brilliant idea Sue. If I am growing and measure 5' 5" next year, I'll have to practice hunching my shoulders. Or cut my feet off!
