At long last, a tentacle prosthesis
A recent University of Washington graduate has developed a prosthetic tentacle to replace amputated arms. And, frankly, it's awesome.
Instead of trying to mimic the look of a human hand, it's a different limb entirely and serves as a sort of tentacle-assistant to the other arm.
More pictures and a video here.
It reminds me of the sprinter with the blade legs. It doesn't look like what nature provides, but gives a whole new kind of functionality.
So now they are just dirt-covered English people in fur pelts with credit cards.
That is freaky, and freaky-awesome. Like, not only are we living in THE FUTURE, but the FREAKY ANIME FUTURE WITH TENTACLES AND ROBOTS.
Yep! I can't wait until we can get prehensile tails.

Hey check out the tail on that girl!
She just snagged my beer with it!
Welcome to Mellophant.
We started with nothing and we still have most of it left.
I waiting for the day they come with attachments.
What shall I use today, the hand, the tentacle, the chainsaw, the flamethrower......
In the land of the blind, the one-arm man is king.
