Nanotech Research Works Toward Artificial Muscles

An anonymous reader writes "Nanotech researchers are developing artificial muscles that convert chemical energy to mechanical energy. This ambitious project aims at making an artificial muscles from conducting polymers and carbon nanotubes that are chemically powered, like natural muscles, and exceed the force generation, contraction and speed of their natural counterpart. This work will lead to advanced limbs for amputees and robots."

I've heard homosexuals want a few extra penises around their waists so they can service a few guys at a time, even guys with extra anuses.

Yes, you're very odd.

Maybe you could use your artificial limb to masturbate and no one would know you're doing it because both hands were above the table! Hmmm. I suppose I'm a bit odd too.
