- seattlegirluw, on 07/10/2009, -1/+43We can make him better, stronger, fuzzier!
- statik99, on 11/03/2009, -2/+36He was rebuilt better, stronger. The aflac duck has better watch it's back.
- Subduction, on 07/11/2009, -1/+33Keep in mind that in this story, bionic means "not in any way bionic."
- NeddieSeagoon, on 07/11/2009, -0/+26As cool as that headline is - doesn't "bionic" imply some sort of electronic component and not just an immobile steel leg brace?
- junkieSaysNO, on 07/11/2009, -1/+24wait, how is a brace for a broken leg "bionic"?
- Jack8274, on 07/11/2009, -0/+14footed the "bill"? Oh I see what you did there.
- D3koy, on 07/11/2009, -0/+11Metal parts != Bionic. However, still very cool...
- Xaevier, on 07/11/2009, -0/+11That leg is about as bionic as using a stapler on a cut...
- DaveFriedel, on 07/11/2009, -5/+15Everybody... everybody... AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW....
- Rivetgeek, on 07/11/2009, -0/+9setting pin + scaffold != bionic.
- Rivetgeek, on 07/11/2009, -0/+8....are you retarded or something? its a pin and brace, they've been doing this to humans for 50 years. Theres nothing bionic about it.
- Andrewbot, on 07/11/2009, -0/+8We also have this crazy technology called "SpellCheck"
- krakkinem, on 07/11/2009, -0/+8Now he has an equal shot at a career of hassling humans for bread, what a heartwarming story.
- JYoungest1, on 07/11/2009, -0/+8I think bionic simply means additions of the body built of something other than flesh and bone. I think when I pick up a tooth brush technically, I am at that point, bionic.
what? it makes brushing my teeth ***** awesome - overtoke, on 07/11/2009, -0/+7pluck yourself
- MarimbaFire07, on 07/11/2009, -0/+7Dugg for Tiggywinkles Wildlife Hospital.

- SeanRockCity, on 07/11/2009, -0/+4I once rescued a turkey. I called him gobbles, he was the star of my elementary school's thanksgiving play.
- Peach3s, on 07/11/2009, -2/+6that is the second ***** coolest thing ive seen all day
- Dotcommer, on 07/11/2009, -0/+4yes, and everyone burying him is retarded.
- JWarblerMadman, on 07/11/2009, -0/+3Oh come on, that was funny.
- inactive, on 07/11/2009, -2/+5oh you think its cute but ...next Metal Gear
- Serbanned, on 07/11/2009, -7/+10IT'S NOT AN EAGLE IT'S A BABY TURTLE!!!
- Lachlan91, on 07/11/2009, -4/+7What happens when he grows? Do they replace the parts?
- twiztidsinz, on 07/11/2009, -0/+3Gentlemen, we can rebuild her. We have the technology. We have the capability to build the world's first bionic goose. Betty Gosling will be that goose. Better than she was before. Better, stronger, faster.
The Six Million Dollar Goose - mikemehak, on 07/11/2009, -0/+3when the veterinarian talked about placing a bionic leg on goose they called him a quack

The orphan, found at Watermead, Buckinghamshire, has already learned to walk again at nearby Tiggywinkles Wildlife Hospital.
Watermead? Tiggywinkles? you can't make this ***** up - SeanRockCity, on 07/11/2009, -1/+4*****, i saw this on TMZ before I saw it on digg. Buried
- spookyttws, on 07/11/2009, -0/+3"Hey this Duck [SIC] could be somebody someday"
- Jarlent, on 07/11/2009, -0/+2Anything from that site is trash.
Each "article" has a completely outlandish headline, and then a second, semi-sensicle article tacked in.
BURY ALL LINKS FROM THEM. - Jaime2000, on 07/11/2009, -1/+3It's a good experiment. Now that they know it can be done with animals they can apply the knowledge they gained during the process and operation to make better bionic legs for humans.
- ThatsNotPoetry, on 07/11/2009, -0/+2I don't understand. 1: That's not bionic. People are ***** stupid. 2: They bolted its leg. The bolts will not grow, but the goose certainly will. They are going to release it with metal parts stuck in its leg? Or is 3 weeks long enough to heal that *****?
- lostinseganet, on 07/11/2009, -0/+2wwwwwwwwwww (^_^)
- kahlessreborn, on 07/11/2009, -0/+2Exactly they used the latter but not the former, where are the electronic parts?
- lostinseganet, on 07/11/2009, -1/+3She will be cooked up and eaten after she is no longer cute :)
- inactive, on 07/11/2009, -0/+2The vet did it for free, by the sounds of it.

"This Time It's Personal" - Aspaztic, on 07/11/2009, -0/+2Holy! So much hate...are you not getting laid or something?
- SlpingInsomniac, on 07/11/2009, -0/+2Metal Gear Duck.
Tactical Quacking Action. - SlpingInsomniac, on 07/11/2009, -0/+2Not to mention a piece of metal does not equal mechanical.
- 12340987, on 07/12/2009, -0/+1Quackor?
- AGONYTUESDAY, on 07/11/2009, -1/+2I'm sorry, but doesn't anybody else think that this is a complete ***** waste of time and resources? there is probably some kid out there who lost his leg to a landmine, and vets fix a ***** GOOSE? Why not fix something that could one day cure cancer or build schools or conservation parks rather than a ***** bird that will probably get shot for sport because they ***** all over fields and ruin local environments by unbalancing nitrate levels?
- ZackRI, on 07/11/2009, -0/+1Bionic Duck!? Can it explode Hitler's head?
- mattyboy555, on 07/11/2009, -0/+1GTFO spammer!
- ThatsNotPoetry, on 07/11/2009, -0/+1Yes, that baby goose will really provide any food for anyone. THAT would be a waste.
- Myztry, on 07/11/2009, -0/+1You mean the first 1/3rd of the article. The remaining 2/3rds are about a budgie that was simply rescued from drowning.
- Ianingf, on 07/11/2009, -0/+1GOOOSE!!!!!!!!
