No worries, a brilliant idea like that will be on DeviantArt in a week, and occupying a 10 x 15 foot frame above every fireplace in the world in about 47 days.Evil Smurf said:too bad I can't draw.....Deathmageddon said:

about the closest would have to be Darwin from X-Men, having immediate adaptability to almost any situation
but an ideal perfect organism would have a body similar or exactly like a primate in design for maneuverability and climbing, thick hides for dealing with the cold, eyes that can see in the dark or long distances, ears that can pick up faint sounds easily, an excellent sense of smell, coloration that can allow for blending, a light skeleton for movement or a thick one for carrying weight over long distances, a form of protection like claws (preferably retractable), webbed digits like frogs for swimming along with the ability to close off air passageways like alligators for underwater, and wings for flight.
Basically, a human with eagle/cat eyes, tough skin like an elephant, dog's ears and nose, fur like a snow hare, a bird-like skeleton and wings, (the I don't know what it's called organ that alligators have to allow them to stay underwater for hours) and webbed hands and feet, and claws like a lion - quite the chimera.
Or instead, a flying squirrel with amphibian lungs and claws

The fungus currently growing around the Chernobyl reactor comes to mind. It feeds on the dangerous levels of radiation currently still present in the area which places it pretty high in regard to survivability. Now if only it were able to neutralize the energy and not just feed off of it.
Perfect, eh? Well, ideally the girl would have to be really cute, in to a lot of the same stuff as me and whatnot. Maybe after a nice night on the town we would go back to my place and... Oh what's that? ORGANISM!? Oh, oh, uh, never mind then. Carry on.
The perfect organism, unbound by the shackles of morality and ethics. But held in its place by horrible writing and acting (AVP anyone?)
I have nothing to add because I thought the title said "The perfect orgasm", and I'm still recovering from the crippling disappointment.
I'm fine with my human form, I would simply prefer if it never aged and never got sick. That is the only improvement I would want.

This one, hands down. It can survie in the Antarktis, it can survive in the deserts. It can survive in the deep sea. It can survive in outer space.
A small quote from the wikipedia:
Tardigrades are able to survive in extreme environments that would kill almost any other animal. Some can survive temperatures of close to absolute zero, or 0 Kelvin (−273 °C (−459 °F)),[7] temperatures as high as 151 °C (304 °F), 1,000 times more radiation than other animals,[8] and almost a decade without water.[9] Since 2007, tardigrades have also returned alive from studies in which they have been exposed to the vacuum of outer space for a few days in low earth orbit.[10][11]

Ninja'd! I thought I had this one!ManOwaRrior said:
The smaller an organism is the hardier it seems to be. There's a whole domain of animals that are like bacteria but evolved parallel to them called Archae, and they're hard to study live because they live in things like steam vents, volcanos, etc. So life can adapt to all environments.
But tardigrades - land, water, SPACE, you name it and they seem to thrive there. I'd actually consider certain types of fungi to be even better at survival than any type of animal though. Certain spores are able to survive in space as well.
