We humans live in a world that has definite sensory barriers. If not for our penchant for thinking and tool-making we would be more limited than slugs. Probably more disgusting too. You know, with all of our slimy excretions and whatnot.
A fine example of something that our stupid ears are denying us is the world of singing mice. If only we could hear them, we would live in a fantastic realm where mice sing like little birdies. They do this for all of the normal reasons; to impress females and because they smell female pee. Just like The Beatles.
If that’s not depressing enough, our best sense, eyesight, has also betrayed us. Even Budgies can see awesome fluorescent shades that help them determine the health of a potential mate. If we had that sort of ability, the whole world would be like one of those news-shows where they go into hotels and look at all the stains on the bedsheets. That would be great. My pants would certainly attract many mates, being covered in wonderful, healthful, fluorescent splotches. Just like The Beatles.
