Dear God 
 
 Please find my thoughts on the latest Earth inhabitant proposal ( ID # 435654.219c ), with comments and edits attached. I hope you will find some merit in my suggestions.

 **The Human, Mk 66~~5~~6** 
 
 > ( Just incrementing the version number here. ) 
 
 Humans shall be created from dust. 
 
 > Let's not reinvent the wheel if we do n't have to. It would be far easier to tweak yesterday's creation a little. It was a ugly little thing called, if my memory serves me correctly, the chimpanzee. We can always tell them they were created specially to make them feel better about themselves. 
 
 They shall be equals of the other animals. 
 > Do I detect a touch of communism slinking into your ideas, my Lord? 
 
 They shall be pure of mind and not subject to temptation. 
 
 > Is this wise? How will you know they still have faith in you if they ca n't be tempted away? Let's make them just a wee bit fallible... 
 
 They shall know no God but me. 
 
 > I do n't like to seem impertinent, but have you run this past Allah, Krishna, and your other siblings? I know you stuck Zeus's head down the toilet yesterday to prove you were the strongest, but I think they may complain about this creation. 
 
 They shall live forever. 
 
 > Good God, if you'll forgive the taking of your name in vain! What a catastrophic suggestion! What will Maltheus say in 7000 years time, if there's even space for him? Where will all the unborn babies go, my Lord! We would n't want to encourage abortion!

 And my Lord, one more suggestion on this proposal. Should we not create a place for those who, shall we say, `` fail to make the grade''. The sinners. The delinquents. Those who stray from your path in life in search of Earthly... pleasures? Someone would have to be put in charge of suitable chastisement for these transgressions. Nothing too serious of course. We would n't want to get a bad reputation. It would be tough, but I might be able to free up some time in my schedule to administer these ~~tortures~~ correctional activities. 
 
 I remain your faithful servant, 
 
 Lucifer
