5. Ian Brown
Picture the scene. Its 2400 and they are knocking down the last existing TGI Fridays to make way for
another hologram factory. Suddenly, as they scrape around in the soil to check whether its chemically appropriate for hologram storage, a wild skull appears lying loose in the dirt. Despite being stained with mud and withered down by hundreds of years of ageing one of the construction workers recognizes the skull instantly. I recognize that skull! he shouts, yeah, it belongs to Ian Brown, the front man of seminal Manchester indie band The Stone Roses!
Whats he talking about? The other workers think, Whats Manchester? one shouts, Whats The Stone Roses? yells another. Come with me says the man confidently. So they all walk to the nearest Facial Reconstruction Clinic. After waiting for a few minutes while they regenerate the face of Howard from the Halifax adverts, a scientist places the skull in a machine which sort of resembles those things that scan your luggage at airports. Gradually, Ian Browns face forms in front of them After studying the protruding jaw, stern brow and vacant, slightly ajar mouth for quite some time they decide that there can be only one solution; in the 21st century a large portion of England entitled Manchester regressed into the earlier stages of evolution and became hugely influential, singing and dancing creatures resembling apes. Soon after, the discovery of Bez and Sean Ryder confirms this and they name the new species Manceys.
