    Hmmmm. Wonder if it will hit the Viagra market first? Seeing that any technological medical breakthrough seems to target that market 1st.

    forcing the gel as a whole to expand.
    Now, until I read this bit I was thinking "ooh, what a great invention" but now I'm wondering how many times they're going to experiment with different elasticities and how much they can compres them etc. "As the gel expands," well, how far can we make it do so until it snaps?
    Ouch, I was just thinking about when some of my friends had braces in their mouth and the dentist had to attatch the little rubber bands (to the clips on the actual brace to speed up teh process)... and then my friend went to yawn. Oh gosh, what a mistake. The band extended as it naturally would, and then *snap* Just heard the girl scream and then start cursing out loud.

    Now as funny as that was, it just goes to show that people should test how far the elastic can stretch before you go sticking them where they'll hurt if/ when they break... especially in your arm or leg etc. Ouch

    Lesson learned.

    Either don't ever go to the dentist, or pay some respect to him and don't yawn. lol.

    6 years to make, probably 60 years to afford for the average person too...
    Can lift 72 pounds, what's that about, just over 5 stone, about half a human weight
    I suppose the military will be getting a few of these...
    What's the point in training people mentally and physically just to be pushed aside to the strength of a robot?

    I think this shows just how lazy society is becoming to want to have everything done for them... Another robot, sheesh, what are we coming to?

    Talking about robots:
    Japanese scientists have unveiled a female humanoid walking robot at Tsukuba City, north east of Tokyo.

    The robot, named HRP-4C, has 30 motors in its body that allow it to walk and move its arms as well as eight motors on its face to create expressions like anger and surprise.

    She will also make a special appearance in a Tokyo fashion show and will go on sale for around $200,000 (£142,000).
    Oh my, look at the price of her!

    Seeing such as this makes me glad I don't have a TV nor too many conversations.

    Thats It!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jephree, I can't stand Fox News (Facist News Network). Redeye is their most ignorant, moronic program next to Bill Oreilly. The only reason these kinds of programs get airplay is because richer folks than us support them. This is propaganda at its worst. These are Bad People in my book.
