Spore Creatures Now Outnumber Known Earth Species
GBC writes "AFP is reporting that, as of a week ago, the number of creatures in the "Spore" database exceeded the number of known species on Earth. They are created using 'Creature Creator,' which is available in a free (with limited parts) or paid download at the Spore website. Will Wright seems extremely happy with the progress so far: 'We hit 100K in 22 hours and a million by the end of the first week. The numbers are just blowing us away.'"
Dude, don't be a dick.

Aren't they mostly just variations on walking genitalia or lewd acts thus far?

Yeah, seriously, who wants to read CAD. That comic is awful (and the author is a bit of a dick too).
Should it worry me that there is more interest in fake creatures then real ones these days? This is turning into Pokemon on Meth...

But sooner or later, the novelty of creating giant animated penii will wear off.
If that's true, how do you explain Second Life's continued existence?
I really don't want to think about Penis Creatures and the statement in the article "The numbers are just blowing us away."

I'm going to make a planet of vagina creatures then use them to bilk the penis planets of all their wealth after a large divorce settlement.

The original poster obviously missed the most extraordinary animal on the planet: the slashdotter. Without it, the world is obsolete. By the way, how would this creature look like? Any takers?
I didn't say human social evolution was a quick process.
No, no, no, you've got it all wrong. The author's a cad.
Don't be angry, Buckley. Your art and comedic skills should improve...eventually.
It's not a penis creature, it's vermiform fauna. The fact that it shoots a viscous white goo when you pat its head is completely coincidental!
(having not played with the creature creator yet, I would be horrified to discover such a thing is possible)

Although you can make them do it on command, as often as you like.
Ah, that must be where the novelty is for these guys.

I just recently re-formatted and re-installed windows, and I'm trying not to bog it down again with crapware like DRM systems that drag down my system performance.
Then why did you install Windows?
