Hello

Great post – I could definitely do with a few anatomical changes

mine would be A built in Zippo Lighter – I will never have to get all Tom Hanks with two sticks again.

also the on/off switch may be handy for the Boss when i need a little mid afternoon siesta.

I have included this post in our regular round up of some of my favorite Travel Articles
from the last few weeks.

The World First Wander

hope you like it

have a great christmas

Some great suggestions here – thanks to everyone for your contributions, we have a list of more than 10 already.
Rick, the topic of reclining seats is a strong one that I guess will never be solved until airlines either remove the recline function, or better still make the seats recline in a way that uses up the recliner’s space rather than that of the poor innocent behind them.
Special thanks to Ellie – because she’s my cousin 🙂

What a amusing and entertaining blog. It made me laugh and think. When I know what I would add I will let you know.

“those selfish folks who insist on reclining at any opportunity….”

I do not agree. With your airfare, you receive a seat that has the ability recline. Your use of the feature does not constitute selfishness in any way.

Great list. I think some folks already posses the genes for 3 and 5. But to do something about it is too much like “A Brave New World” for my liking.
I’d like to know where to get those carrots that gave RAF pilots perfect night vision. Provided of course they are organic, locally grown, in season and that the farmer received a fair price for them. Then I could hike and snowboard in the middle of a powder night without anyone else tracking out the fresh snow.

Giant bladder definitely. How about an in built lie detector and sixth sense, to know when you are being ripped off or that cab driver its overcharging in the local currency.

I’d go for instant acclimatizatation to high altitudes – so I don’t miss out on the best skiing in the highest glaciers!

I’m with you on that last one. Wouldn’t need the first one on long flights as I’d be switched off.

Arm extensions for self-application of sun cream to the notorious red triangle on the back…

Good points there Andy. Yup a larger bladder would be handy on long bus journeys. Plus self massaging feet could help too…
