In the course of a rather strange discussion today with the girl-child (don’t ask… it got seriously bizarre), I got hit with two new (and pretty wild) plot bunnies. See if y’all think either of them sounds like the basis of something you might want to read. We’ll leave the question of whether they are serious action/adventure or snarky comedy until later *g*
Bunny numero uno:
Genetically engineered roaches that, when you squish them, grow new roaches from each of the individual smooshed bits. They might even have mandibles made of some Terminator 2 style freaky-ass metal liquid stuff. And itty bitty spy cameras for eyes! if spy cameras could be made from organic, growing materials, that is.
Bunny numbero dos:
In the future, giant tarantulas roam the earth (don’t ask me WHY, I don’t know WHY!), and humans keep them at bay with tamed giant spitting spiders (apparently there is a type of spitting spider which actually EATS tarantulas O_O).
**thinks**
Okay, so #2 bunny really does sound like an MST3K movie. LOL. But what about bunny #1? Y’all think I could ever turn that kernal of weirdness into a way-cool action/adventure type book? It would sure be fun to try :D

um Tarantulas or roaches? hmm they’re both pretty gross. I guesss number one would be interesting to think about and i would love to see what you come up with. The idea brings up so many questions though. Like why roaches? Thery’re gross but not really dangerous I don’t think. Or how would you kill them regular roaches are really hard to get rid of I shudder to think what killing genetically engineered roaches that regenerate when squished would entail.
Okay I have clearly given this too much thought already….

LOL No, roaches aren’t dangerous, but I’m thinking they were designed not as assassins, but as either spies or saboteurs, or both. I don’t think you COULD kill them. Which, of course, would be a huge mistake on the part of the designers, once their creation gets away from them…
Clearly I have been giving it too much thought also O_O

ah They would make good spies. Also maybe after they are done wreaking havoc and so on, a genetic mutation could be introduced that would neutralize the regeneration process. Although really if they are intelligent enough to be spies I don’t think they’re going to stand around and let themselves be squished. So is humanity going to be enslaved by the non-killable roaches? will they mutate and become giant non-killable roaches?
Okay that’s enough. I am having too much fun with this :)
