Straight from Star Wars we have this story about Italians connecting an arm to a man and he learns to make it move.

ROME ? A group of European scientists say they have successfully connected a robotic hand to a man who had lost an arm, allowing him to feel sensations in the artificial hand and control it with his thoughts.
The experiment lasted a month. Scientists say it was the first time an amputee has been able to make complex movements using his mind to control a biomechanic hand connected to his nervous system.
The Italian-led team said at a news conference Wednesday in Rome that last year they implanted electrodes into the arm of the patient, who had lost his left hand and forearm in a car accident.
The electrodes were removed after a month, during which the man learned to wiggle the robotic fingers and make other movements.

It always starts with "we'll just fix your hand up a little..."

Why people give two shits about Tiger Woods, LeBron James, how many babys Angelina Jolie is gonna get in her adoption version of RISK! or how much coke that ginger skank Lidsay Lohan does to f her life up is beyond me.....

Scientists should be our superstars.

Italian scientists also reported unexpected side effects: the patient apparently suffered severe trauma to his penis, including extensive friction burns and soft tissue damage.

This could have some interesting consequences in a lift.
