    Wonder if they’d be able to make a skin-like/plastic casing over it. All in all though that’s pretty sweet.

    @O8SERVER God damn right!

    @brucekirk89 If we can pay for enough nuclear firepower to glass the planet nearly 30 times, we can fucking afford prosthetics.

  7. boxaman says:

    He should just get a gun arm instead

  8. 90hi09 says:

  9. brucekirk89 says:

    @RookBartly Agreed, and thank GOD for science tits. Let’s only hope Mr. Kamen finds an equally partical applation for us men in the near future, amirite? What an increadable time to be alive – “we” really have come so far.

    has anyone seen the “mind control” device that they’ve just gotten to a useful stage in development? combine that with this and in 25 things are going to be magical, haha.

    @AntiVaccine What color is the sky on the planet where you live? & where is the proof that the Illuminati are real? “In your head” doesn’t count.

    If the Illuminati have a worldwide control system. why aren’t you dead? Why are your insanely paranoid comments even allowed on the Internet?

    Oh, right. You’re just another paranoid whackjob that can’t cope with reality, so you invent a fantasy reality all your own. Sucks to be you, whackjob loony.

    HERE COME THE BLACK HELICOPTERS TO TAKE YOU AWAY!

    @fettfettmerafett Go for it. Change the world for the better.

  20. Urgessa says:

    I’m glad he can finally pick up a banana.

  21. Typewriter102 says:

    Just saw this on gizmodo. Really cool man!

  22. ghm0702 says:

    @TheCrocodilator Yea they can be used for bilateral amputees

  23. AntiVaccine says:

    @tuckerch lol, WHO mass genocide is constantly going on as long as people keep taking vaccines like lambs to the slaughter. 2012 is a meme the Illuminati(which I can assure you exist, you may just believe it when you have a microchip in your head) use to induce fear when true spiritual changes are going to be happening internally strongly up until 2017, which is exactly why the Illuminati have erected their control system worldwide.

  24. TheCrocodilator says:

    @topracer01 i’m pretty sure he can wear two of those arms at a time.
