Ribcage and most internal organs. But that only becomes a problem in the cold, and not heat. (ie, when temperature is centered on the internal organs and you really want to prevent it from radiating away to the outside.)

There's also the fact that muscles will rapidly radiate away heat, which might actually be a good thing, depending on where the temperature goes. (In general, temp rising inside is not a very good thing, but anyway.)

Carbon fiber's serious business, apparently.
I would instead put forth the possibility of using a silicon macromolecule instead of carbon fiber, as we could likely create something much tougher than carbon fiber, which would be important in high performance bone structures.

Also, in case none of these pan out particularly well, I would like to recommend making the human waste system more efficient with everything, seeing as how resources are going to be scarce, and would also recommend a side project of creating hardy crops that provide the necessary nutrition that can survive all the planet throws at it.
EDIT:We could even incorporate the necessary silicon into the plants, and before you ask where they would get it from consider that most things we'd consider dirt are made of silicon oxides.

Don't be so specific.

I'm not terribly familiar with what makes carbon fibers so string, so I'm turning this over to the more chemically-apt members of the forum.
Come up with a chemical (or a description of it) and I'll come up with an opinion on if it's feasible!

I think that that's pretty well-agreed.

The necessary silicon for what?

But not in the real world.
Damn you ignored side details that somehow manage to make me look foolish!

Practical ideas:
Create Mojo Jojo
Alternatively, create the Powerpuff Girls
Does Chemical X exist?
Use spider silk for skin and keratin for everything else.
Make a unicorn instead.

So... have our projects developed at all since we last heard from them?

I suspect the greater interest in arguing over theoretical genetics than actually getting on with it has put the DM off.

Listen up: making a thing a ‼thing‼ doesn't make it more awesome or extreme.  It simply indicates the thing is on fire.  Get it right or look like a silly poser.

It's useful to keep a ‼torch‼ handy.

Which is kinda sad, because A. this was a fun game and B. the arguments were fun, too.

I expect that we could spoiler the arguments...

Which would defeat the point because this is how we're deciding what would be good and what wouldn't
