    we are overdue

Just read the last one was 720 000 year ago, and the average flip is around the million year mark. Aren't we early?

0.7Ma ago... Just when Neanderthal and Sapiens began to ran the earth.. coincidence... ok probably. Or we're due for a new evolution :]

Most sources say ~250,000 years (second paragraph), so I still think we're late.

Well, exposure to radiation does catalyze mutagenesis... I'm certainly OK with developing superpowers.

Leg-Coming-Out-of-His-Chest-Man, stop licking that tree and help me! Two-Heads-16-Toes-Girl has fallen down again and I can't help her up with my T-Rex arms!

Worst. Comic. Ever.

So you're telling me that the Incredible Hulk is fictional and that most mutations will be unwanted and debilitating?

Awwww.
