I Just Saw This on Yahoo News
While it's not DIRECTLY related to Foster's, per se, one character in particular came to mind when I read this article. It's amazing what they can do for amputees now, with advances in bionics and prosthetics. I know that last year, this same team constructed the first bionic leg for a Saluki dog that had been found by a US military convoy in Iraq, with one of her rear legs shot off, and using the dog as a model, apparently now have developed this arm for human amputees:
http://www.cnn.com/2007/TECH/science...arm/index.html I just wonder if Wilt would even be willing to try something like this. Some of the technology reminds me of the actuators created by Dr. Octavius in Spider Man 3, not to mention that whole "Six Million Dollar Man" of the seventies. It's remarkable how much reality and science can eventually come to mirror fiction, isn't it? Maybe playing that wicked Blues slide guitar isn't out of the question for the Wilt-Man, after all. pitbulllady |
