Speculative biology is simultaneously a science and form of art in which one speculates on the possibilities of life and evolution. What could the world look like if dinosaurs had never gone extinct? What could alien lifeforms look like? What kinds of plants and animals might exist in the far future? These questions and more are tackled by speculative biologists, and the Speculative Evolution welcomes all relevant ideas, inquiries, and world-building projects alike. With a member base comprising users from across the world, our community is the largest and longest-running place of gathering for speculative biologists on the web.

And there is plenty of Hindi influence and a good deal of Dutch too.

Ah yes, Dutch. I thought i'd forgotten something.

I know, so you'll notice only a slight drop in temperature when you get here.

There's very little Celtic in English - it's mostly a Germanic/Romance hybrid.

Yeah, kangaroos are basically bouncy antlerless deer. Not for cuddling, and the big males can be vicious.

If I had to move countries? Well, I'm Jewish, so I'd think about Israel. I hear Canada's nice but I couldn't stand the climate. Maybe New Zealand?

I like living in America which, despite popular belief, doesn't suck.

If I had to choose though, I'd probably pick either Scotland or Ireland. Both have beautiful countrysides, the best alcohol on the planet, and cool accents.

Scotland [has a] cool accent.
No. None of the scottish accents are cool.
I prefer the Edinburgh one than the glaswegian or OCH AY THE NOO ones though.

I'll have to disagree with you there. They're definatly in my top five, just below Australians.

Not sure why you care so much, as it's an opinion...but here goes:

Australians
Irish/Scottish
Italian (Mostly the New York, Brooklyn version. Not really italian, but whatever.)
Jamaican
Southern US. We're talking Louisiana. Maybe some cajun.

I tend to find Australian/NZ/Falklander etc a bit harsh. To go all synaesthetic on you I'd say they are like Ginger Beer. Enjoyable but it hardly goes down smooth.

Indian and Southern African English are probably my favourites.

I would like to see the Mandate one day, but I could never live there, the climate's barbaric. From what I gather New Zealand's rather temperate in it's climate, not to different from Blighty, though it does have cyclones as a added bonus.

Vancouver Island (which the city of Vancouver is not located on for some reason) in Canada however looks to be a lovely place with a near-Mediterranean climate. And a spiffy flag, which is always a plus when picking where to move.

I've always found the idea of moving to one of the territories rather romantic. Of course practicality it would not be that easy.

I do declare! My family mostly comes from the bayou. Not from New Orleans, but Alabama, Georgia, Florida, that region. I remember when we went to visit them, and almost nobody down there talks like Northerners think they do. They have very little accent, if any at all. New Orleans is where the cool accents are at.

I think I'm going to change my avatar to Tennessee Williams now.
We should all aspire to die surrounded by our dearest friends. Just like Julius Caesar.

"The Lord Universe said: 'The same fate I have given to all things from stones to stars, that one day they shall become naught but memories aloft upon the winds of time. From dust all was born, and to dust all shall return.' He then looked upon His greatest creation, life, and pitied them, for unlike stars and stones they would soon learn of this fate and despair in the futility of their own existence. And so the Lord Universe decided to give life two gifts to save them from this despair. The first of these gifts was the soul, that life might more readily accept their fate, and the second was fear, that they might in time learn to avoid it altogether." - Excerpt from a Chanagwan creation myth, Legends and Folklore of the Planet Ghar, collected and published by Yieju Bai'an, explorer from the Celestial Commonwealth of Qonming
