Could be used for awesome? I didn’t know TrekMovie quoted Strong Bad. Unless Strong Bad quoted someone else when he said that. Funny, everyone else is worried about Skynet and the US military and all I can say is “Strong Bad?”

Oh, those two beady white eyes of Mercury staring at us, makes me quiver. Let’s build a great big liquid telescope on the moon and stare back at Mercury on our micro flexi screens.

Sooooo…..

An ‘Ironman’ exo-skeletal suit for disabled people called HAL-5. Manufactured by Cyberdyne.

I pulled 4 Sci-fi references out of that.

Exoskeleton suit-Ironman
for disabled people – Darth Vader / Star Wars
HAL – 2001
Cyberdyne – Terminator

I’m glad to see our current innovators have a good sense of humor XD

Where the heck is the power supply for that exoskeleton? It’s gotta use a chunka power. Granny’s got to stay near a wall socket … or carry a generator, spewing carbon monoxide.

Still … pair that up with the Jet Pack from last week, and we’ve almost got Iron Man. Who’s out there making repulsors?

That spinning, low-evaporation-in-a-vacuum ion salt telescope device sounds like science fiction. Very cool. I love innovations that expand our horizons.

Don’t know if I’d call anything mechanical “HAL”. Bad luck? ;D

I have to get engaged with my brain? D’oh! Why can’t empty promises and beer be enough?

Holographic TV? I guess that’s cool as long as the Hannity filter is working.

Thanks Kayla!! Let’s each pull on our super suits and have some fun.

Gotta admit, the robot suit looks cool as hell, but the name Cyberdyne does creep me out a bit.
