April 25, 2009: Illuminated Site of the Week: Open The Pod-Bay Doors With Brute Strength

Illuminated Site of the Week:

This device, affectionately called Robot Suit HAL, should allow compensation for physical ailments; extreme mountain climbing; and bit-parts in upcoming comic-book films. The company (the "leading edge of cybernics"?) is prepared to charge the princely sum of $4,200 American for their modern marvel, according to secondhand reports in h+ Magazine.
