What if humans had wings? I can imagine you are probably wondering why I would ask this question. Well, it seems my mind’s source for blog ideas has reached a creativity drought. Because of this, all I have to talk about is humans having wings. Now picture it: A human with large, feathery, graceful wings on its back, big enough to support flight.
If you actually pictured it, then you would either be thinking that it would be an awesome sight, or you are probably still thinking, “Why would this guy ask that question?” For centuries, we as people have been mystified with humans having wings. From cave pictures to different modern works of art, winged humans keep appearing. Obviously, it has had its effects on our culture. Humans sporting wings have been in various books and movies. Also, it would be extremely efficient. Assuming it is not as tiring and time consuming as walking, we would most likely not even need to drive cars or ride trains to get to distant places, we could just fly there using the wings. If you have ever flown in a plane, you know the experience is quite invigorating, and I could even assume that flying with personal wings would be even more exciting.
Regardless of your views on Darwinian natural selection, the idea that a species has developed effective mutations that the species has retained, you would have to admit that a human with wings would be quite cool, so why did we not get them through this process? If only there was some sort of scientific way we could play around with certain hormones so that we could sprout a pair of wings. Yes, if only.
Besides the use of wings for their designed purpose, they would also look strikingly good. I know what you are thinking. “Matt, how will clothing change based on the wings?” Here is what I would suggest: Make shirts and similar articles of clothing with two respective “wing holes.” Clothing makers already put holes in pieces of clothing, so I am sure they would not mind doing it to accommodate wings.
Anyway, reader, I commend you for making it through my thoughts on this subject and hopefully I have made you consider this strange subject. By the way, this video describes perfectly what it would be like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vx0Gaho2M1E
Personally, I would propose not wearing any clothing at all if we had wings. Just kidding. That would be a smidge awkward. Humans really have always been fascinated with our kind obtaining wings and personal flight. It would be fantastical and amazing! I mean, look at the Bible. Angels!
ReplyDeleteSomehow, I have the feeling that you must have watch the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show last night. I say this because all of the "Angels" aka the main models, aspire to wear wings with their fashion forward outfits. When the girls finally earn the chance to wear the individually designed and custom made wings they are so touched almost all of them cry. Your bloog really got me thinking what if I did have wings, pretty cool actually, amazing what a blank mind can come up with.
ReplyDeleteThat would be so awesome If I had wings. Imagine all the money i would have beacuse I would have to us eit for gas money. That would be amazing! Hmmm. You might have just inspiredme to figure out a way to make this happen!
ReplyDeleteI agree that it would be very interesting if humans had wings. I actually read a book where these kids had been genetically mutated (if I remember correctly) and they all had wings and could fly. It actually did make me wish I could fly. They also would probably be more environmentally friendly and economical. Maybe jetpaks were invented so that people could experience flying without being in a plane. Im sure it will be possible one day.
