Technology Innovation and Human and Animal Bodies

New Scientist has two articles in its Christmas issue worth reading (yes, last year - I  wish I had some of the superpowers below)

One is about things we would change in the human body - readers submitted entries on what they would "innovate" - all-day bladders, joints with lubrication points, pouches for newborns

and another on animal superpowers us humans would love to emulate - follow scents, decode ultrasound, resist radiation, re-generate  body parts,  slow down reproduction, dive to extreme depths, not sleep for months, see in the dark.

Hey, come to think of it Jack Bauer can do most of these...that hot dog!
