Being paraplegic is generally seen as being a bad thing and something that you generally want to avoid if at all possible, but in the future, kids may be lopping off their legs or otherwise purposely losing their natural ability to walk just so they can get an awesome robotic exoskeleton. Because walking with a robotic exoskeleton is 85% more awesome than walking alone.

A couple days ago we brought you a story about how "scientists" were so proud of themselves that they had figured out the exact feather coloration of a particular dinosaur breed, which is all wonderful for them, except for the fact that the whole idea of dinosaurs with feathers is completely stupid. Dinosaurs are naked, leathery killing machines. They're not Brazilian Carnivale queens.

From paulywog via the forums: "This is a truly epic video of which I'm not entirely sure of the meaning.  I get a little Heaven/Hell kind of thing with humanity somewhere between.  It's a collage of tons of other videos/movies.  Marco Brambilla's Civilization using Stravinsky's 'Rite of Spring'.  The specific piece is called 'Ritual Action of the Ancestors' which I believe was in Fantasia, and it sorta feels like a little like something from John Williams."
