Human Exoskeletons

[Rob Lang]

J's future life...

J's wife: "Someone laughed at my exo-skeleton today, dear..."

J: "Oh, really? Don't pay any attention, darling."

J's wife: "Too late for that, I punched his head clean off."

On august 29, my exo-skeleton became self-aware:

Me: "Ah, fine day for a walk. I need some bread and milk."
Exo-skeleton: "I'm sorry, Jens. I'm afraid I can't do that. I'll go to the gym instead."
Me: "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO........!"

[Rob Lang]

LOL, Jens!

I'd only spill tea into my exo-skeleton, making me thrash about wildly. Which is how people describe my dancing.

Gentlemen do not dance.

I thought you Celtic tribes had a proverb to never hand a sword to a man who can't dance.

Oh wait, I suppose a gentleman wouldn't be out whacking people with a claymore, so...

OMG! Exoskeleton + outrageously oversized sword = we will be living in a CGI anime future.

My only concern for this human exoskeleton thingie is that it will go the way of doggles and hummers, you know, something invented to help the military and in this case disabled people, but then adopted by outlandish pretentious wealthy people who want to show off how much money they can afford to waste.

At this point people think doggles are sunglasses for chihuahuas, not eye protection for rescue dogs.

So when will people start wearing exoskeletons because they're too wealthy to bother moving their arms and legs themselves?

In my poshest accent: "I considered becoming an 'apathetic' like from Zardoz world, but I thought it might be dull, so I got this robotic system to move my arms and legs for me."
