Better. Stronger. Faster. Maybe.
Headline: Woman begins new life with bionic armNow, Mitchell can peel a banana in a less simian posture. All she has to do is place her prosthetic left arm next to the banana and think about grabbing it. The mechanical hand closes around the fruit and she’s ready to peel.
Technology has come so far, it's truly amazing. I wonder if they included the na-na-na-na-na-na sound chip for when she moves around? Wouldn't that be cool, at least, for a couple of hours?
It's just so wonderful that all she has to do is think about it and the arm understands and responds to her thoughts. Wonderful, that is, if she's not a prime candidate for anger management therapy.
Imagine a check-out lane during a holiday rush. She stands there impatiently waiting, shifting her weight from one foot to the other, huffs loudly enough to make her irritation known to all, and then does the unthinkable: she thinks.
Whack! Bubblegum-popping-check-out-girl just got her teeth knocked out by a bionic arm!
I wonder if that thought crossed anyone's mind when they designed the prosthetic device? It could just be disastrous if the arm got into the wrong hands.
She'd better have some tennis balls handy for the crushing - just in case.

"This sh*t is bananas, b-a-n-a-n-a-s".
I always find your stories interesting, armless fun OMW
I got to to "hand" it to you that was a funny post :) If she were a cop that would make it the long bionic arm of the law.
I have blogged about a scientific miracle pop over if you get a minute.
Ben: thanks for sticking that song in my head. The 'armless fun' was great - especially with a British accent. :)

Awesome! Or perhaps we can peel away the skin and plug our machina arteries into the mainframe like our 70s toys suggested we do!
Ray, I'm afraid if we did that, we'd have to bust out Operation!
