    How brilliant would it be to have a prehensile tail?

    If there was a way you could just grow a prehensile tail, would you want to?

    How would you make use of it?

    What would be the downsides?

    My all-time favourite Dilbert cartoon, this is: BTW, a Dumpster is a brand of skip, I think.

    I presume a prehensile tail would easily be strong enough to hold a pint glass.

          Waiter. Ms Zippy will have her coat, please.
          How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

              How would you sit down on the tube or train? Or would it be strong enough to support ones weight so seats were superfluous?

                You don't often get the option of a seat.

                  I do, pretty much every day.

                    a prehensile tongue would have some advantages.
