    Hey, neat accessory !

    The real problem would be modifying all of your clothing and chairs.

    Hm. I read your comment and thought, "Tails?" How refreshing to
    know I'd guessed right.

    The Rargyllians (aliens with tentacled heads in _The Star Beast_,
    who gave Mr. Kiku the willies) also had tails. The Rargyllian
    agent on Terra hid his in his Terran-style pants. ~"The one on
    [name of planet] had worn no clothes, since the inhabitants wore
    none, and had carried his tail proudly aloft, like a cat."~

    Yeah, but Dilbert and Wally now have the tails.

    I am reading Atwood's book about gene splicing right now. It does not
    turn out well for the human race.

    Science fiction books about sience rarely do, after all.

    Yup, although, I am only on book one. Maybe things get better by book
    three.
