So today I was discusesing with people in these modon times with all the advarstements in genetick modifichion if you could have a tiny vershion of any animile that could fit in the palm of your hand what would you have lots of people said Lions, Tigers, Giraffes and Elephants my mum even said a Gorillas.
so what would you have as a tinny pet if you could ?
I personlay would want a tiny flock of sheep about 2 inchses tall you could have them as desk sheep and feed them cress.
Best thread ever!
I'd like a small octopus that I could keep with some goldfish and I'd also like some miniature greyhounds that I could race around my living room rug a bit like a living scalextric.
A unicorn. I'd call her Princess Respecta.
A tiny Blue Whale that i'd keep in a goldfish bowl, because i'm a human and i could laugh at it and say"nyah, nyah king of the mamals huh, well screw you your now tiny and small and i could squash you"
Or a minature Minature Chiwowa dog.

Don't forget to order some super-miniature plankton to feed your whale on!

A T-Rex would be arsom to have on your office desk till you get fired when it takes a chunk out of a co-workers or the bosses hand.
On the other hand a brontosaurus could be really cool.

They're too stupid to train so it would shit on your paperwork unless it wore some kind of nappy.
Plus, you know, Brontosaurus aren't real.
(Or am I getting mixed up?)
A yeti. I will love him and pet him and call him George.
I'd like a miniature kangaroo.

Aww George...
A mouse.
I would like a small cow. That way when my friends ask "Is that a small cow you've got there?" I could just reply -"No it's just far away".
I want a miniature salamander, I would call him tiny because he would be my newt.

Quite. I read a ridiculous sci-fi story once, where a man makes a machine that can make a miniature version of anything by simply dropping in a piece of said thing. He makes a mini T Rex for his desk, and indeed it does take a chunk out of his hand.
Sadly for our hero, some of his blood falls into the machine and he has a heart attack and dies, then finds that his consciousness has transferred to the nude mini-him in the machine, and then he has to fight the T-Rex and some spiders on his desk, and all the time with his own huge dead body looming over the scene.
So let that be a lesson you all.

...And then he woke up and it had all been a dream?
Or
...But after a while, they put their differences aside and lived happily ever after?

Awww... who wouldn't love a tiny dragon and a Pedicorn... and a Triceratops .....

Is this a reference to the Paul J. McAuley short story Gene Wars (http://www.lightspeedmagazine.com/fiction/gene-wars/)?
Well now... you might think so ... I couldn't possibly comment.
Amoeba.
Only more so.
A troop of macaques. Lahhds of 'em. Swinging and hooting around the room on a network of little bonsai trees. And a miniature Shia TheBeef for them to rip to shreds.
But more seriously (...), a mammoth. Who wouldn't want to own a living oxymoron.

Have you honestly forgotten your pinnacle of thread-dom: 'My social life problem can anyone help' already? Because I haven't. I still have nightmares about it. I wake up intermittently screaming "Just bloody ask her out!" before the black void of slumber mercifully claims me again.
My cat...be cause she would eat less and be less anoying!
Rancor.

Stevie would do similar with a Neanderthal community in a terrarium.
You can still get them. They're disgusting looking things; the type of creature you might get if you never cleaned your toilet.

I started to read this thread, out of interest... Grud on a Greenie! I mean, life was too short to read it all - especially the several pages of children's naming discussion - but it really is a nerve-racking hell... It's like a funted-up version of Eastenders!
I hope the lady of your dreams was found, Cyber...

Some people at work kept them in a tiny tank on their desk. That claim about them being clean? Not true. The tank was a mess after a few weeks...

Anyone remember the Star Wars Giga Pets series?

I had this Rancor one. It was freakin awesome! Raise your own Rancor from birth. Feed it people and watch it grow. At full size it filled the bloody screen!
Besides the usual 'clean up droppings, let it sleep, give it medicine' malarkey you could also play with it. You would throw it a humanoid with a club or stick, and carefully timed button presses meant your Rancor avoided the blows, grabbed the humanoid and ate him! Such sadistic pleasure to be had.
Yeah, I loved my pet Rancor.
