Project Grizzly Bear-Proof Suit Up For Auction

Posted by simoniker on from the electric-boogaloo dept.

Ch_Omega writes "The Project Grizzly suit, The 'Ursus Mark VI', a 'grizzly-proof' suit of armour', was mentioned on Slashdot a few years ago. For all of you who then wished for such a suit (for wrestling with Grizzly Bears?), both the original Mark VI and the improved Mark VII (featuring 'a built-in video screen, a cooling system, pressure-bearing titanium struts, protective airbags, shock absorbers, a robotic third arm, built-in regular arms and swivel shoulders') are now for sale on eBay!"

    Add a robotic exoskeleton to the Mark VII, and you'll have a decent set of powered armor.

    Hmmm...that reminds me of something.

    Remember to file down the sights of your gun before heading out to bear country.

    You know why?

    So when the bear rips the gun out of your hand and shoves it up you ass, it won't hurt as much.

    That's how much good a gun'll do ya. :)
