    Double arm transplant

    Wednesday, October 22, 2008, 07:11 AM [General]

    Check out this photo of a guy in Germany who had two arms attached to his stumps!  No joke!  This is one of the most amazing things I've ever heard of.

     

     

    Here's an article about it:

    What do you think?  Is this the future for all amputees?  Is this something we should all want?

    Amps and Gas Prices

    Thursday, June 26, 2008, 06:19 PM [General]

     

    This was awesome.

    I also think it's a bit ironic, becuase as an amputee I am probably more reliant on my car than an able bodied person would be.  And I would guess that goes for all leg-amps.  You guys concerned about gas prices?
