Well, safety protocols are there because maybe, just maybe SOMEONE paid a price already. What I'd like to know, how did the Carrot people make thing without hands? Enquiring minds want to know........:)
Nylon12, we make the point in my industry of explaining that every law and guidance exists because there is a reason for it, and usually one that caused death or injury.
In terms of hands, it is well known that Vegetable People have amazing mental capacities and move things with their minds. Which brings up another interesting point: I cannot think of many sci-fi or fantasy books that had plant based intelligent creatures. Philip Hose Farmer did in Dark is the Sky and Piers Anthony had a fungi based life form (I cannot remember the name of the books), but that is all I can recall.
Comments are welcome (and necessary, for good conversation). If you could take the time to be kind and not practice profanity, it would be appreciated. Thanks for posting!

I seem to recall trees that could walk around and fight in the Lord of the Rings!
DeleteEh - You are completely right Ed! What an odd miss on my part. Maybe because the Ents seemed a lot more "people-ish" (As Treebeard might have said).
DeleteAlong the lines of Nylon12's thinking, do they have built in gyroscopes in their stomach cavities that keep them upright on their pointy ends?
ReplyDeleteI assume so? They are, after all, an advanced space-faring species.
