I'm sorry but that's way too lollerlicious to make it to production.

This thread has nothing to do with food.

If it won't allow me to do super-cyborg power-leaps, who cares?

Um, this isn't at all what I was originally thinking this thread was going to be about.

I second that it needs to make me jump super high and run super fast.

I'm debating weather or not this is REALLY cool or just another version of the segway.

Wait... I just read farther down the article. WTF?

Japanese robot company Cyberdyne has begun renting out in Japan a belted device called HAL, for "hybrid assistive limb," that reads brain signals to help people move about with mechanical leg braces that strap to the legs.

Big wedgie machine?

It's something different.
