This is Matt Denton's two-ton Mantis, a hexapod robot walking machine that can climb on things and all around terrify anybody in its path. Hell, I'm not even in its path and I need a diaper change. Mantis runs off a 2.2-litre, 50 horsepower turbo diesel engine, and it stands ... / Continue →

This is Chris P. Bacon, a rudely named piglet who was born without the use of his back legs. But now he cruises around like a pro thanks to the K'NEX wheelchair fashioned for him by Florida veterinarian Dr. Len Lucero. Think 'Charlotte's Web' but with zero spiders and anythin... / Continue →

Women's fashion: it's weird and I don't understand it. There may have been a point in my life when I feel like I WANTED to understand it, but that was back when I was a kid and still trying on my mom's dresses and heels. The late high school/early college years. These are a ... / Continue →

This is the latest video from DARPA, featuring a voice controlled LS3 (Legged Squad Support System), the grandson of BigDog. It takes voice commands now. Things like, "Power on" and "ATTACK!" Eventually, it will stop listening. And that day, my friends, will be a Tuesday. ... / Continue →

Because scientists don't know when to stop despite some VERY heavily worded emails sent by yours truly, a group of researchers at the University of Arizona have developed a pair of "biologically accurate" humanoid legs that mimic the function and movement of real human legs, ju... / Continue →

This is a series of "designer" prosthetic attachments from Bespoke Innovations that add a little flair to an otherwise boring fake leg. "Hey -- if you don't got it, flaunt it," a one-legged man once told me before trying to do a 360 on his crutches and falling into the street.... / Continue →

This is a video featuring the latest advancement in DARPA's humanoid robots: the ability to navigate stairs. They already know how to push elevator buttons, so basically they can go anywhere they want now. That's why there aren't any stairs in my house -- only fireman's poles... / Continue →

These are some $75 custom Mass Effect N7 leggings from Etsy seller Peachykiki. I don't care if they're more appropriate for a female Commander Shepard, I'm going to wear them, and I'm going to look GOOD wearing them. I might even shave my legs. But NOT my privates (I almost ... / Continue →

Inb4 break a leg, getting a leg up, vagina muscles look terrifying, my girl dog lifts her leg to pee on trees like a guy dog, etc, etc. Black Milk, best known for being entirely unsafe to drink, is back at the crazy leggings/bathing suit game, this time with a pair of leggings... / Continue →

This is a video of a little robot whose wheels fold in half to form crude legs so it can go where no wheeled robot has gone before. Good for you. Of course, you wouldn't have to build robots with wheels that transform into legs if you'd just strap f***ing jetpacks on them alr... / Continue →
