An Esurient Trollop

This post on Slashdot was too juicy to pass up. It struck me as particularly hilarious.

“According to an article at the BBC, an evolutionary theorist in London suggests that humanity may split into two sub-species within the next 100,000 years. From the article: ‘The descendants of the genetic upper class would be tall, slim, healthy, attractive, intelligent, and creative and a far cry from the “underclass” humans who would have evolved into dim-witted, ugly, squat goblin-like creatures.’”

This made me thing about the Eloi and Morlock, created by H. G. Wells for his 1895 novel, The Time Machine.

However, in this version, the Morlocks are the stupid ones and the Eloi are the smart ones. In any case, it was woth a laugh.
