“Grahn takes my hand and slips it into a clear, coffeepot-looking contraption he calls the Glove. Inside is a hemisphere of metal, cool to the touch. He tightens a seal around my wrist; a vacuum begins pulling blood to the surface of my hand, and the cold metal chills my blood before it travels through my veins back to my core. After five minutes, I feel rejuvenated. Never mind the hangover. Never mind Bon Jovi. I keep going for another half hour.”

Kinda like Viagra for the hand.

I thought it was a new penis enhancing product.

No glove no love.

[returning Austin's personal property after reanimating him]
Quartermaster Clerk: One Swedish-made penis enlarger.
Austin Powers: [to Vanessa] That’s not mine.
Quartermaster Clerk: One credit card receipt for Swedish-made penis enlarger signed by Austin Powers.
Austin Powers: I’m telling ya baby, that’s not mine.

Austin Powers: I don’t even know what this is! This sort of thing ain’t my bag, baby.

Coming soon to a ballpark near you. Maybe Rocket can pitch until he’s 80…

You are correct Allah. AWESOME.
Theworldisnotenough on March 13, 2007 at 11:16 PM
that’s just odd

Anyone ever eaten an MRE? I thought it WAS pig poop anyways.
I like the thought of “the glove” simply to help me keep up with the granddaughters.Super grandma,yeah,that works ;-)

Well, I guess Michael Jordan will be making his third comeback soon.

And I thought I was high tech running a vacumn cleaner hose from the AC vent into my flak vest. Now about those IEDs.

Can we put the nutroots, as a group, in suspended animation?
Now that would be awesome! Pay close attention to those O2 levels, wouldn’t want them dropping too low..
OK, I’ll settle for the hand warmer.

Being superhuman is only a glove and an oxycontin away…who knew. Sounds good to me. Like to see one at my Gold’s Gym, the meat heads wood go nuts(er).

The future is here today. My son in the Navy had a medical problem recently and had 7 tubes of blood taken for tests. He was told that DNA screening indicated that he was “genetically” predisposed to a certain ailment and therefore ineligable for a specific job training…
Can you imagine if this bleeds over into the civilian work force?
Anyone seen the movie Gattica? My husband offered to send our son hair and nail clippings…

Interesting metaphors!

Sounds a whole lot like Rummy’s idea of the military, now don’t it!

Almost sounds like the test for the “Kwisatz Haderach”

Double plus awesome. I love this sort of stuff.

honora called.
She wants his number.

The dude jacked out 1000 pushups and 600 pull ups at 60 years old…I’d say the product has potential.

I. Want. One.

I was watching Glenn Beck’s show last night and right after it was over the little news update reported that for the first time a majority of Americans don’t believe we can win the war in Iraq.
Not one word about the numerous and impressive gains already made since the change of tactics there, or the fact that we’re seeing these gains even before the majority of the new Troops have shown up.
Not. One. Word.
Why is that, I wonder?
An enterprising (and down in the ratings) network just might be able to stage an enormous comeback simply by reporting the truth, for a change. I can’t wait till things are going so undeniably well that the various and sundry ‘news organizations’ start eating themselves by pointing out the incompetence and naked bias of their competitors.
Much faster, please.

Cool
Is it big enough to stick your head in?
franksalterego on March 14, 2007 at 9:52 AM
HUMMM… Using cool fluids as a means of regulating body temperatures? How innovative! I’m surprised that NASA doesn’t use this type of technology, or the Medical profession.

You don’t need hydrogen sulfide to “de-animate” people, an M16A2 works quite effectively.

Not much of a quote.
You can quote me on that.
doufree on March 14, 2007 at 12:54 PM
Cooooool.
So, when do we get to buy the glove?
And what do you use for a heat/cooling source? Surely it’s not just a heat exchanger with the ambient air. He’s in a room that’s 104 degrees and then in a tank of 60 degree water.
And who’s going to volunteer for human trials on the re-animation stuff?
TexasDan on March 14, 2007 at 9:41 PM
No wonder they put DARPA in Metal Gear games…pretty far out stuff
