Now to rain on the parade…
Wings: Defiantly cool but what are we talking about? Arms into wings? Wings
on your back? Bird wings, bat wings, insect? Lets start off that your wings
will have to be at least twice your body length. Then your going to need to
dump any extra weight i.e.: 1 testicle, 1 ovary, 1 kidney, hollow but
strong bones, more aero-dynamic head and body, excess bodily fluids, and
special eye adaptations to lubricate and protect against high wind speed.
Not to mention the massive amounts of food usually more than your own body
mass to keep up enough energy to fly. That’s just the beginning; there are
also muscles to think of, wing synchronization, and adapted follicles (hair
or feathers?) etc…
Budding: There are two ways to bud really take for example Hydra hymanae.
It can reproduce asexually (clone its self) or sexually. Not bad, we would
all like another Callei around, however, budding is not localized process.
Meaning you could have a very large bump (the offspring) in a very
conspicuous spot, perhaps even uncomfortable. Keep in mind self
fertilization may occur intentional or not. It would only take the
slightest stimulation and it may not be restricted to one gender though
doubtful.
Sapient Energy: I agree it would be cool, and to RedQueen, it sounds like
you have watched Babylon 5. Despite what you think it may actually be
possible for life to evolve into energy if said life evolved on a planet
orbiting a white dwarf. Coincidently our own Sun is predicted to be come a
white dwarf in perhaps 6 billion years from now, but earth will be gone by
then. As for weaknesses in energy life forms I would imagine they would be
susceptible to iron and other metals, or any of the numerous conductors.
Maybe it would be possible to evolve into the substance pre-big bang when
matter and energy were one.
Other ideas:
Precognition- which we kind of have; its just a matter of running the
numbers.
Teleportation- i.e. X-men’s night crawler.
…Maybe fusing chloroplast into human/ animal skin cells- in theory it could
work. We breathe oxygen and produce carbon dioxide. That carbon dioxide
could be used in the photosynthesis process. It possibly could prevent skin
cancers, and may produce enough energy in cells that we humans will not
have to eat as much.
.....ok you can call me insane now.

dead-cell: Well, if I did have wings and legs, I'd want arms and hands too.
I don't care if that's asking for too much. I want all the cool toys.

telepathy would make rape and sexual harassment so hard to charge people
with. because people could just molest someone with their mind. how
bizarre.

but if the other person also had telepathy, would it work? or would a
battle of the brains occur?

Ironboots, it looks like you've found one of the few drawbacks that
evolving into pure energy would have.

But if we evolved into pure energy, we wouldn't have the same sort of
drives that propel individuals to acts like rape, so what would the point
of mental groin-kicking?

even if both people had telepathy, how would you know who was raping you?

So, Jesus loves you, but he'd kiss you on the mouth if you were holiding
two Forties, and he'd hump your leg if you have the I.Q. of Avril Lavigne?

Yeah, I've heard the theories that Mary Magdalene was his wife and an
apostle to boot, but I didn't think there was much talk about them having
kids. I know there are a ton of people who hold that after Jesus, Mary and
Joseph had other kids (as Rupert said in Dogma, "Believing that Mary gave
birth to Jesus as a virgin is a leap of faith, but to believe that a man
never got it on with his wife? That's shear gulibility!"), so there are
some however-many-great-grand nephews and nieces of Christ out there.

if Jesus didnt get married, and lived a life without sin, would he have
died a virgin?
that would be so bad, giving up your life for mankind and never even
getting to sleep withany one... i can assure that is the fear of christian
girls everywhere (i go to school full of em) that they will die a
virgin...

I wonder what kind of lover Jesus was...
Is he a leg guy, an ass guy, or a tit guy?
Does he give good head? How good?
Obviously he's a masochist, but what gets him off the most? Hot wax, whips,
asphixiation, cbt?
13 person orgies every night?
As a carpenter, did he make any interesting toys?
What sort of miracles did he work in bed?
Was Mary Magdalene Jesus' domme?
"The Lord is my shepherd" Does that mean Jesus is a furry? Or that he's
into bestiality?
(I'm goin' straight to hell...)

Hasn't this whole forum just turned into the movie "Last Temptation of
Christ" ?

sex is a sin? that makes no sence. that would mean every one on the face of
the earth is related to a sinner. that means preists were bourn by
sinners... this makes no sence
