Gawain 0 #2 June 28, 2010 QuoteOscar, The Bionic Cat.. (X out the add button in the corner before playing) http://www.vidiload.com/index.php?page=videos§ion=view&vid_id=102003 I watched some of the BBC stuff on line this weekend. THAT'S THE SH*T RIGHT THERE! If the Army or whomever ever wants to experiment on a human trial for that technology that allows the flesh to grow to the skin - I'm all over that idea. The idea of supporting my weight on my leg vs. the ramus/ishium with the outer socket is totally what I hope we'll see one day.So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

Actually, the cat has whole new legs now. There are follow-on videos on youtube about him. The new legs are much better. The cat walks much better.So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

skyrider 0 #7 June 29, 2010 The first pictures I saw, it looked like they had mounted metal chicken leg bones to it;s legs! So this is obviously a work in progress! http://nedthetoothpick.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=39068#p1100350 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So this is obviously a work in progress! http://nedthetoothpick.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=39068#p1100350 Those are the new legs. The really important factor is how the cat's skin is attaching itself to the metal pins affixed to the bone of the leg. If they could do that for humans....wow...So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

That is what I'd say too, if I used a cat for experiments, and it worked, so now you need to go public...That's all I am sayin! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
