Book 2 - Chapter 5: Universal Togetherness

Book 2 - Chapter 4: Just Chapter 4
The boys discuss a new system of politics where leaders are chosen by a talent show. Though everyone's bodies are as malleable as an octopus so there will be some particularly notable contortionist acts. So grab your jerky as there's no refrigerators either because they've never been invented....

Book 2- Chapter 2: The Piggyback Master Race
With Owen all settled in, Matt, Danny & Owen turn the page as they start Chapter 2. Evolution now works in a much shorter space of time, humans have been more humane and decided they'll use themselves in sports instead of the animals we currently use. Oh and when you fart your deepest darkest...

Book 1 - Chapter 13: Split Up and Look for Poos
Matt, Macklin and Danny have had a stinker this time, they just hope your heart can take it. Appeasing the Dog Poo Police and cleaning up after little Rex won't be the only thing getting your heart rate going: That 180bpm gabber will be keeping the ticker beating fast. 180bpm fast to be precise....

Book 1 - Chapter 12: 3 Foot Tall or 6 Foot Small
Matt Macklin and Danny have once again made a greener world but not for the first time, it's complicated. In a new public transport centric existence, a logistical nightmare of fitting a society of 3ft and 6ft people into the same monorail system is a headache and a half. Not to mention the world...
-
Book 1 - Chapter 11: Shine Bright like a Diamond
The boys dicuss the possibility of puffy marshmallow like humans which could also light up the night with our new fangled bioluminescence. These humans roam an earth which itself is problematic, as it is ready to pop like a ripe spot with a severe lack of plate margins. ENJOY!

Book 1 - Chapter 10: The Bees & The Birds...
This time the boys dig into Danny's favourite topic, SEX! From eating our sexual partners after sex to having a limited number of ejaculations, the boys get down and dirty behind the microphones.

Book 1 - Chapter 9: Richard Barbers & Kitten Parlors
For many of us the idea of having multiple opportunities at restarting life sounds idyllic, but what if the price for life was a more physical price? How many years is a leg worth anyway? As long as you still had both legs, you'd still be able to take part in the new global skipping craze and…

Book 1 - Chapter 8: The Age of Aquariums
Ever wondered what the world would be like without spiders, how the human story would differ if our species evolved to have gills, and what could have been if our vision developed to be more like Eagles eyes? Even if you haven't ever wondered about any of that stuff, join Macklin, Matt & Danny;...

Book 1 - Chapter 7: A Monkey's Tail...
Ever thought about having being a monkey? Too scary? Well how about just having one of their tails? Better that than a whole load a gigantic animals that have gone extinct still roaming around right? Surely that place would smell pretty bad, so best get rid of our olfactory system so we can't…

Book 1 - Chapter 5: Silent night (Hopefully)
This week's Chapter takes a dark turn in more ways than one. Nights are no longer lit by the glow of moonlight and to make things worse, lights are now some of the loudest entities known to man. Of course, we couldn't let humans have it easy in this already hostile universe so we decided to make...

Book 1 - Chapter 4: Musical Mountains
What could have been if we only needed to eat 200-300 calories a day? The worlds tidal ranges averaged around the 100m mark? Or humans failed to create any form of written language? Obviously, there are a few initial thoughts, though the tangents are plentiful...

Book 1 - Chapter 3: United Planets
This chapter is a collision of morphing humans travelling via Flintstone like transport, sniffing glue made from the now redundant horses. This doesn't sit well with the other civilised planets in our solar system, as the United Planets look down on this junkie riddled Earth.
-
Book 1 - Chapter 2: The Big Bald World

Book 1 - Chapter 1: On the Eighth Day...
