- SolituSneiku, on 01/19/2009, -3/+36I sure hope he's right handed if you know what I mean, can't take any chances
- okgaz, on 01/20/2009, -1/+32I WANT ONE!!!!
no wait.. - VinnieDaMac, on 01/20/2009, -0/+26I bet that's sort of like giving yourself a stranger.
- opzero, on 01/20/2009, -0/+20Even prosthetic limbs are using the 'i' prefix? Lame.
- stealth45, on 01/20/2009, -0/+20Degloving.. well there's something I hope to never experience.
- okgaz, on 01/20/2009, -0/+16He was so casual about it too.
Yeah it's called degloving, my hand and muscles were ripped out, you should try it. - holygram, on 01/20/2009, -2/+15"& best Star Wars Costume"
awesome - okgaz, on 01/20/2009, -2/+15Ha ha, you beat me to it. I bet this thing is also useful for grabbing boobs
"Sorry, my arm is malfunctioning" - doiveo, on 01/19/2009, -0/+12Could bring a new, more literal, meaning to choking the chicken
- DemDude, on 01/20/2009, -2/+13I can't think of anything clever to write, so I'll just say I'm glad he got a helping hand from that company.
You've got to hand it to him, he's dealing with this extremely well.
Hands down, his brother's idea to contact the company was a great move.
Okay, I'll stop now... - allanstrings, on 01/20/2009, -0/+10no point grabbing boobs with the hand that can't feel them....
- TonyLocNE, on 01/20/2009, -1/+10Science: succeeding where science left off.
- tostrye, on 01/20/2009, -0/+9like in Arrested Development, he's all right. He lost his left hand, so he's all right.
- Dwolf71, on 01/20/2009, -0/+9You're right. God should have given us regenerative abilities... and wings to fly... and friggen laser beams for eyes! Yeah! Pew pew...
- directrix13, on 01/20/2009, -0/+8No, its definitely a question of "if".
- inactive, on 01/20/2009, -0/+8I agree. I would rather it be more reminiscent of something out of Star Wars or Terminator or iRobot or even Iron Man.
But then again, I'm a total nerd/geek and I would probably be first in line for something closer to what you see in GITS. - adam1378, on 01/20/2009, -1/+9this is getting outta hand...
- inactive, on 01/20/2009, -0/+7Do not google "degloving". I almost blacked the ***** out when I did with safe search off.
...unless you like seeing that sort of stuff. Personally, it just freaks me out and makes me go all tingly and light headed. blech. - VinnieDaMac, on 01/20/2009, -0/+6If I was getting an artificial limb, I wouldn't want it to be just an average looking arm/hand....
- mingusmingus, on 01/20/2009, -4/+10and don't run indoors, don't ride motorcycles, don't talk to strangers, don't climb trees, don't skateboard, don't swim without a life jacket, don't play any contact sport, better yet: just stay indoors and don't do or touch anything.
- punchinelli, on 01/20/2009, -0/+6I'm never sticking my hand out of the window again.........
- punchinelli, on 01/20/2009, -0/+6"What frustrates me is when people say "Scotlands did nothing but invent Whisky and golf" which is insulting to me and all other scots." "
I'm pretty sure no one really says anything bad about the Scots at all. - allanstrings, on 01/20/2009, -0/+6I don't understand how you could get a team of creative enough people together to design and build such a device, but nobody has a better idea for the name than that....
- strudey, on 01/20/2009, -0/+5Oh god. I google image'd it. Don't do that. Don't do that.
- GhostSniper, on 01/20/2009, -0/+5Ok, I did it.
Don't do that. - bjs3171, on 01/20/2009, -0/+5This is nice, and all, but does it come in Terminator Chrome?
- RealmDown, on 01/20/2009, -1/+6A hand up is better than a hand out.
- ToastPop, on 04/17/2009, -0/+5That's not true... that's impossible!!!!
- Aitese, on 01/20/2009, -0/+4As he was describing his hand being removed like a glove I just had to stop...must have been horrifying. If I was his friend I don't think I'd ever be able to forgive myself or get the images out of my mind
- drewedman, on 01/20/2009, -0/+4I'm getting too old for this *****..
- Silentnite85, on 01/20/2009, -0/+4The girl isn't going to know which one is robotic...
Or she might ask if you have other attachments for it. - ParanoydAndroid, on 01/20/2009, -0/+4I bet that hand really gives him a leg up...
...
...
... Wait. Goddamnit. - Philbert, on 01/20/2009, -0/+3Reminds me of an old Liquid Television episode from the 80's which had a fake ad for Lee Press-On Limbs.
Oh here it is:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57MdYwl1uPw - inactive, on 01/20/2009, -0/+3I'd happily spend the rest of my life paying off a new limb. Its not perfect, but its pretty damn close.
- elitebmo, on 01/20/2009, -0/+3Does it have the bionic commando grappling hook though? Cause that would be totally worth cutting my arm off. Then again i would probably need bionic legs to be able to take the landing without crushing myself from my own impact.
- RSS14, on 01/20/2009, -7/+10Science; succeeding where God has failed.
- inactive, on 01/20/2009, -0/+3I'm not going to lie, I have both arms and I kind of want one. I mean, not really, but kind of. Maybe once we reach something a bit more like what you see in GITS. THAT would be awesome.
I'd want to see all the mechanical stuff inside though. Not only do I think that would look cool, almost Star Wars like, but that fake skin stuff kind of creeps me out for some reason. - catfish182, on 01/20/2009, -2/+5i have to give you a hand for that comment
- vilago, on 01/20/2009, -3/+6and this is why you never ride with your hand sticking out of the window. i see people do this all the time. it's not a question of "if" it's a question of "when"
- darkgaizat, on 01/20/2009, -0/+2Oh wait, you guys ARE bankrupt! http://www.telegraph.co.uk/comment/columnists/iain ... sry.
- phenom2k7, on 01/20/2009, -0/+2Try searching for Danny Glover instead.
- inactive, on 01/20/2009, -0/+2you gotta learn to switch hit.
- djholybolt, on 01/21/2009, -0/+2I'd want to get the Portal Gun attatched to my arm.. even if it didn't do anything, it'd be wicked awesome to have it anyway
- groundz3ro, on 01/20/2009, -0/+2Lol, there's this guy on my ventrilo server who bashes scotland all the time xD. (he's american)
And the english.
And, once I was in the US. And someone asked where I was from. I told them Scotland. And they apparently didn't know Scotland even had electricity. Which is ridiculous. He must have watched the movie "Braveheart" and assumed it took place in the present day >< - swgc5, on 01/22/2009, -0/+2Exactly, he was drunk.
- supermanly, on 01/21/2009, -0/+2Wow, way to bring religion into something completely unrelated troll.
- ParanoydAndroid, on 01/20/2009, -0/+2Microwave - Dr. Percy Lebaron Spencer, American
Refrigerators - "The first known artificial refrigeration was demonstrated by William Cullen at the University of Glasgow in 1748. However, he did not use his discovery for any practical purpose. In 1805, an American inventor, Oliver Evans, designed the first refrigeration machine."
So artifical refrigeration was demonstrated by a Scot, but the actual refrigerator was invented by an American.
Hypodermic Syringes - From wikipedia timeline: "The Iraqi/Egyptian surgeon Ammar ibn 'Ali al-Mawsili' technically invented the first such syringe in the 9th century using a hypodermic needle, a hollow glass tube, and suction to remove cataracts from patients' eyes, a practice that remained in use up until at least the 13th century and which came into renewed use in the 20th century."
I'm sure the scots invented a good many things (like Whisky and Golf, for example :D ) but not many of the things on your list. - VinnieDaMac, on 01/22/2009, -0/+2I was thinking maybe a hand similar to Hellboy's where it was basically indestructible. Imagine getting in a fight and punching someone with it.
- davengineer, on 01/20/2009, -0/+2I wonder if the new hand has any storage capabilites... could be a whole new kind of "thumb" drive.
