It's rather hard to imagine an explanation for this article that doesn't involve either a complete mental breakdown or a mind-debilitating amount of alcohol douched through every ingesting orifice. Or both. Nevertheless, the BBC is reporting that Oliver Curry of the London School of Economics expects the human race to bifurcate into two distinct species: an angelic race of genetic supermen and a race of "dim-witted, ugly, squat goblin-like creatures."
As far as I can tell from my social circle, we're pretty much already there. But Curry claims that choosiness in selecting sexual partners is what will cause the human race to split. This, perhaps, ignores the fundamental fact that most human beings will fuck pretty much anything.
Nevertheless, Dr. Curry soldiers on, envisioning a future female population of buxom, promiscuous nymphs from which the big dicked, cerebral He-Men of the future (over which he will presumably serve as wise, munificent overlord) will have their carnal pick.
Of course! Dr. Curry further speculates that these "Eloi" women will grow to be over 7 feet tall, presumably so they can accommodate the massive, thigh-lengthed penises of their mates more easily.
Needless to say, Dr. Curry's thesis has met with a great deal of controversy in the Blogosphere. In short, everyone pretty much agrees Curry is an idiot.
But me? I'll be here, dreaming wistfully of the coffee-skinned, pert-breasted giantesses of the future and the baseball-bat sized phallus I'll need to swat them all away.
