Mostly I'm writing this entry because I feel obligated to put things up on this blog since I went through the trouble of making it. That being said, I've really no idea what to write about. So I'll just tell my one reader some random fun facts you'll probably never use.
Did you know they have cat prosthetics? They are pretty cool. They are shaped like the prosthetics that people use for running because they are build to absorb impacts. And that's pretty much all cats do. They are actually connected to the cat's bones and the skin and muscles and such grow around the new limb, they cannot be taken out and are designed to take in the same amount of impact as the cat's other legs. They helped his adorable little farm cat be able to run around and play again after having his legs crushed by some farm equipment. So yeah, those are pretty cool, but I'm sure that they're ridiculously expensive.We also ave pretty cool human prosthetics. We build a robotic arm prothetic that can exert up to 200 pounds in force, which is ridiculous, but something I would make if I were a scientist. Because, shit, I could be Luke Skywalker. So when I think about the boring kind of prosthetic limbs everyday people have to wear, I get a bit disappointed. But, people would be chopping off limbs left and right for a badass prosthetic like that, so it's probably for the best. Anyway, do you know of any cool things about prosthetics or robotics?
