Bigger, Stronger, Faster?

Fifty-four-year-old Jesse Sullivan "accidentally touched live wires while working as a utility lineman in Tennessee," reports Orlando's WKMG-TV. "He suffered severe burns, causing him to lose his arms."

We can rebuild him, doctors said; we have the technology:

Sullivan is the first to try out the most sophisticated artificial arms ever designed.

Surgeons attached his arm nerves to healthy muscles in his chest.

"So now when Jess thinks, close hand, the impulse is picked up by a transmitter, and goes to his hand," doctor Todd Kuiken said. "He thinks, closes hand and it does." . . .

By the time it's perfected, the cost of manufacturing the bionic arm is expected to be about $6 million, according to the report.

Boy, a dollar doesn't go as far as it used to. Back in the day, $6 million was enough to buy an entire bionic man.
