Dermal Tissue Systems make me jealous...

Ok, it might just be me, but plants have WAYY better defense than we do. We have...skin. And when that skin tears..it just gets patched up. Plants(like trees) get BARK! WOOD! Way better than our little fleshy stuff.

I just can't help thinking that animals got the short end of the evolutionary stick. Heterotrophic. Dependence on sexual reproduction. Soft skin.

We don't even get pretty flowers on our heads!

Seriously...we should revolt and become sentient plants. We could be lazy all day, we could make our own food, we wouldn't have messy relationship issues because we never even have to see the organisms we mate with...

That'd be simple as 1, 2, 3.

Of course...it'd be pretty boring too.
