Sweet, I can't wait to get a cybernetic arm I figure if we will know how to get damaged limbs working then it should be only logical to make mechanical replacements that respond to those same nerves.
One Script to rule them all.
One Script to find them.
One Script to bring them all,
and clean up after itself.

There was a time when I wanted to get in that field for a career (my college field was medical electronics and computing). Could have been cool... I guess I'll never know unless I win the lottery to allow me to make another field switch...

The fact that researchers were able to grow new neural connections in severed spines is truly stunning. Here's hoping we don't wipe ourselves out in the next couple of hundred years! Look at the things I've seen in my life: The first nuclear weapon was exploded less than 7 years before I was born, and I've seen the first satellite launch, the first humans in orbit and on the moon, robotic probes to most of the planets, and so much more. Sometimes I feel like I've been around for all of the most significant events in human history except the invention of fire, agriculture, and writing.

From livescience.com once again, this photo was taken about 100 miles from my home. It's the sort of rotating supercell thunderstorm that often births tornadoes. Many times during the spring here in the Texas Panhandle neighbors gather together, not to put shrimps on the barbie, but to watch clouds like this, listen to NOAA weather alerts, police radio scanners, and discuss whether or not it's time to grab our emergency bags and run for the shelters, or just enjoy the view.

I could have sworn you were at least around when they invented fire

Niclo, the worst part is, I'm starting to feel like it. When the last indecent proposition you've had is from a lady that needed help loading her electric scooter onto the lift on her van after she shopped at WalMart, that's pretty depressing. Even worse is that while I declined gracefully, I got her phone number and friended her on Facebook.

OK, I'll return to the wall cloud theme myself. These things can be anywhere from a quarter mile across to something like five miles. My original post was a biggie very far away. I thought I had some video of a closer encounter from about 6 years ago, but I can't find it.
Still this is a pretty fair approximation which I found online at ahhyeah.com

Ok so it's more a copy of a dialogue and granted I'm not a super grammar nazi I do find it irritating when people can't type the full word.
