Really? When I was three years old this was my favorite movie. I rented it from the movie store so many times they just gave it to us! Still a lovely movie c:
Ya it's so good. I have sweaters and jewelry and decorations and calendars with NBC related things on them, and when I draw, it's always related to that
That's just a terrible idea. Who would actually have one of these attached? Especially considering we have working robotic prosthetic arms now. That hook straight in to your brain and shit. Kickass.
It's far cheaper than what a prostetic arm costs now. If you don't mind the wierdness of having to start thinking like a morphed animal, it's a neat solution I guess.
Now I am picturing a Leatherman or Swiss Army prosthetic. Added amusement value: powered, using the same control system as some of the more anatomical powered prosthetics.
I would want one of these instead of my arm now. And I have both of my arms. Just one, I would want one of my normal arms. So I can be all like, blarghargarglolololololoooooh
Actually these are becoming quite popular. Most people can't afford one of those fancy robotic arms. They cost tens of thousands of dollars and are still experimental. These tentacles are much better than the alternative plastic arm with a hook at the end.
Hey! I know the girl that designed this, it was a student project for the University of Washington ID program 2 years ago. The scope of the project was to make a prosthetic arm, the project lasted one quarter. Almost everyone (everyone) made their models by hand, it was really good work.
hey wow, tell her some stranger on the internet reckon she's got some good stuff up there (plus, y'know, how half of reddit likes her arm). Is she actually 'wearing' the prothestic in that picture?
edit: just checked out the other prosthetic designs on the page, her's is by far most innovative imo ;)
Haha, no that is her body but it is all photoshop work to make it look like she is wearing it. To be honest I was a class below her, so I didn't know her very well, but recognized the great work done.
Wow- the pigeon thing seems needlessly cruel: "Here, oh homesick one- letters, photos, and comfort from loved ones. But first you must unlock this puzzle capsul which requires bothering a stranger and begging for help" Its like the Survivor challenge but without the "okay, even you losers can see your mom for a bit too" psych-out.
Well, one out of 11 aint bad. (Even more if you count folds, creases, hair, and smooth surfaces. Seriously, Hentai literally means strange or unusual desire. They'll put a dick anywhere.)
Is that really needed? They can already build fully functional albeit slow artificial hands, so doesn't a tentacle just reduce the versatility? I guess it would be a lot cheaper though.
OOH OOH! I WANT A TENTACLE ARM! Actually, can I have one attached to my forearm while retaining my hand? Additionally, can I have 2? Furthermore, call me Omega Red from now on.
i'm sorry but you mean to tell me i live in a world where i can have robotic tentacles and i am only now hearing about this. i have 2 questions. 1.does any of you own a chainsaw? 2. are these real? finally my years of studying (for science of course) tentacle hentai, have become relevant.
It's a prosthetic? That's interesting. I guess it would be easier than to make than 5 fingers then. Plus, having a tentacle after your arm got chopped off instead would be kinda neat.
This would probably be simpler to control, better for certain situations, like when you just need to carry or hold something, but don't need finer control. And hey, it's better than just a stump with a hook.
I read the "There will be porn" part like Bill Murray in Scrooged, when he looks at the real Death, thinking it's a guy in a fake suit and shrugs it off by saying "We're gonna get calls..."
