Hardyman Lives!


Behold! The Hardyman lives! Well, not really. But Reverse Cowgirl reader Young Song (Hi, Young! Your name is awesome! Thank you for the cool link!) sent me this awesome video of a Hardiman-esque exoskeletal suit made by the boys at SARCOS that is like porn for people who are into robots. While the original Hardiman was rather clunky, this SARCOS designed Son of Hardiman is practically sexy in its streamlined efficiency. One cannot help but to imagine more erotic applications of said suit. I, for one, would welcome our future be-robo-cocked overlords. Possibly. In other, ah, "news," if that's what it is I'm proffering here, Boing Boing TV's latest episode features a robot who gets his heartbroken--and he doesn't get a happy ending.
