May 21, 2009: Bionic Digitigrade Legs

Stilts are cool. Stilts that give your legs the "backwards knee" look are very cool. Kim Graham's digitigrade leg extensions -- which add 14 inches, weigh less than 7 pounds per leg, and have optional hoof-like attachments -- are very, very cool.

(Digitigrade: a form of locomotion in which the animal walks only on its digits; e.g., dogs. This gives the impression that the knee is actually bending backwards.)

Right now, there's a 60-day backlog for orders, but heck, Halloween isn't for five months. You've got plenty of time to order and then procrastinate building the rest of the satyr or werewolf costume.

Warehouse 23 News: e23: What, No Sisterhood?

Perhaps the people who built the facilities in Dungeon of Terror #2 Assassins' Brotherhood just didn't have the cash to spring for separate male and female locker rooms? It makes sense, then, that it would be exclusivity one sex. You really wouldn't want people who have no qualms about killing in a co-ed bathroom.
