Bring On the Walking Fish and Tiny Elephants
This helpful illustration from the February, 1940 issue of Amazing Stories, explains what might happen if the Earth's magnetic field weakens and allows more cosmic rays to pass through our atmosphere...Evolution Gone Mad!...our planet will become a bizarre menagerie of strange creatures.
I'm hoping we'll all develop strange powers, just like the Fantastic Four. I'd like to be able to dispense different kinds of liqueurs from my fingertips and grow mint and pickled onions from my eyebrows for garnish. That'd be boss.
I'll probably just get cancer.

Ha! Apart from sexual and financial desires I can't of anything to mutate in a good way.
But I am sure I can think of something weird, like a skin thick as Lederhosen or a second Heino or Country head.

We all need a second Heino head.
