Presuming we're still around and taking into account any future changes in our environment and other species evolution.
Logical or as surreal as you like
Cheers!

like a hermit crab, but really a fat post-human living in his "Shell" which supports the heart, feeds the fat mess, converts the massive amounts of methane into locomotive fuel and generally helps fatty to communicate with the world via emails etc, as talking has evolved out of the picture
picture a really big fat ugly man, in a very small tight fitting car

100 million years is just too vast to even imagine. I mean, humans have only been around for around 1 million years, and modern homo saps. less than a tenth of that. Given the amount of change that has occured in that time, it seems impossible to gauge the amount of change that would occur over 100 times that length.
I suppose it all depends on how we survive the enviromental bottlenecks ahead of us. If our technology is robust enough, I would imagine that we will gradually begin to merge more and more intimately with our technology, i.e. cybernetic implants, internal nano-bots in bloodstream, gene therapy, etc., until eventually humans transcend ancient biology. At that point, humans would control their own evolution, and would most likely move towards maximizing information processing.
Also, if humans ever manage to leave Earth, evolution will really get crazy again. Isolation and novel selection factors could lead to almost any imagineable arc of evolution. This could lead, over thousands and millions of years, to a galaxy populated by vastly differing races which would all still be technically human in origin.
On the other hand, if humans fail to reach the technological singularity, we'll probably face de-evolution. This could range anywhere from simple cultural reversion to a simpler paradigm, or to the extreme of actually reverting back into a more animal form, once again becomming just another organism in the biosphere.

Due to the fact that there are so many of us we are unlikely to go extinct in the near future and are unlikely to have to adapt so we will remain as we are.
100 million years is a huge time period and any number of things could happen to only leave a few survivors, however due to the nature of humans we may be able to get through most catastrophes relatively unchanged in the same way rodents, insects, some amphibians, fish and reptiles have stayed the same. Those who survive catastrophes usually change little as they are already relatively adaptable.

Humans have a lot of weaknesses, like dieases that you can't fight, getting cut easily, sensible eardrums that seem to break if you 'drum' it too loud, and eyes that get worse each year. There are lot others, but I might want some of these things to be changed/ evolved. But then, it's not something that can be 'wanted' for. Evolution is a phenomenon when something that has a weakness adapts to the situation, though slowly. Perhaps it will not happen, and humans might eventually get extinict.
Still, it would be nice to see what the 'homo sapiens' will grow into!

1. Ipods growing in our brain.
2. Pocket in our skin in which to put mobile phone.
3. One ear to be blue-tooth compatible.
4. Able to walk at 250 mph for up to 20 hours, and run at 600mph for 10 hours (necessary as oil has long since gone).
5. Antennae coming out of forehead holding digital TV screen. 2 more on top of the head for TV/radio reception.
6. Able to breathe total methane atmosphere, caused by cows.

We will probably become ice dwelling creatures like carniverous penguins and 25 ft tall arctic foxes..

post a message then and I'l tell you, what ever it is its got to be better than this. Unless we haven't controled global warming, there'l be nothing to evolve into

Humans won't still be around. They will be extinct.
