Your Five Best

Erik Gillberg chooses his five favorite evolutionary mutations of the last 4 billion years.

---

Erik Gillberg and his family recently landed in Hailey. They miss their home planet, but are looking forward to fleecing everyone in their new community. Fleecing, on the home world, is when one puts two or more arms around another person in a show of affection.

For the Express

Sex

Sex is an elegant, if often frustrating, expression of a duality that is intrinsic to this universe. The on and the off. The 1 and the 0. Something and nothing. Without it, there would be no reason to write songs like "Three Times A Lady." Or "Superfreak." Or...

Flight

Actually, I hate flight. I have spent my entire life fruitlessly wishing for unassisted human-flight. So far, all we can do is fall with style. (Props to Buzz Lightyear.)

Taste buds

Duh.

Whale song

When we are sufficiently evolved, it will be apparent that whales and the sounds they make are the best thing life has done yet. Dolphins are cool, too. I would sell out my species for dolphin love.

Dreams

Dreams are just freakin' cool. All bets are off. All laws suspended. Random. Chaotic. Fun. Terrifying. Surreal. Too real. Silly. Embarrassing. And if you let them, they can lead you toward your next evolutionary step, and I don't just mean your stupid inner child growing up or something. I have seen the Overclock of Mu in a dream. The Keepers showed me where we are headed. But I can't tell you or I'd have to kill you.
