Rise of the Machines

Now last night (5 am is still night for most of my pals), I was browsing through my favourite entertainment website Cracked when I read something which was too good to not mention here. Now everything there is worth publishing but its way better if you head over there and get lost browsing through the website yourself. Anyway...

The article 5 Superpowers Science will give us in our Lifetime had at No.5 the Iron Man's Battle suit which is being developed in Japan at the HAL 5 suit. HAL stands for Hybrid Assistive Limb but who cares what it stands for when you look like this and have 5 times a normal human's strength:-



Needless to say I was impressed because its something I was contemplating having since the Kodachaadri Debacle and this is actually in our times right now. But wait: It takes a remarkable turn for the worse. If this artificial suit was not strong enough, there are thoughts of including AI as a backup for the aged/physically challenged in times of emergency- Or so they would have us believe!

Just check out the name of the Company behind the suits.. Go on, click on the Official HAL Website and be amazed. Saw it?? Its bloody #$^@$^#&# CYBERDYNE! The company that makes the Terminators remember? Dont let the language fool you though, this is just a humorous article but I would still love to see what happens with this company in April 2011 (Judgement Day as per the Terminator Franchise) and ya, Cracked has this note regarding it:-

"Don't get us wrong, we're not saying this isn't an amazing technology. All we're saying is that you should find your nearest John Conner and sequester him in your local underground robot apocalypse bunker before some dip-shit scientist puts some kind of thinking chip in these things."

I dont blame them for posting this pic, its way too funny:

Did I mention that the HAL suit is now available in the commercial market in Japan for a hefty rent of 220,000 yen? Buy hey: How many of you can lift 200 kg by yourself?
