@mainchemical: Sorry I offended you. The poster above was right: I was making a comment about Marines; not trying to put down your concerns. Obviously, aesthetic concerns are import for prosthetics. But, they come after motion and sensations are restored.True Marine story told to me by an AF flight chief: They were transporting some Marines on a cargo plane, which aren't pressurized as much as commercial airlines. Although they were warned to alert the flight crew to any discomfort, one Marine ignored a toothache until his tooth cracked open. They had the land the plane early to get him to a hospital.Are there any dentist out there who can explain how the tooth would crack open?
What idiot wrote that article? Bionic arms are very old, they are commonplace now. I've seen people with them before, I met a guy who owns a place that does nothing but manufacture bionic arms and hands! I even tried one out for myself! They're old, they've been around a long time, this is nothing special.
If a bionic leg was run by windows would you have spend half your day booting yourself up to get going.Perhaps this is this guys secret system."The Muscle Gain Truth No-Fail System". He did it without drugs or steroids, without endless hours in the gym, and months... And wants to teach YOU how to do the same...<a class="user" href="http://www.onyourpc.com">http://www.onyourpc.com</a>cut your arms off and replace them in one day.
