Or forget the Marines, how about cute, stand-alone (although I suspect not much because of the fact that he is attached to what he is supposed to be "pulling" -- my guess is that the cart is "pushing" him) dinosaurs:

Interesting.

I wonder if the military is experimenting with more advanced stuff, or is Kawada's version the state-of-the-art?

I think we have a long way to go before our enemies are crushed under the boots of the Robotic Super Marine.

Hey, I wonder if anybody has ever asked "Do those legs go all the way up?" :glp-chris18:

BTW, I'm not an engineer, but I'm impressed, anyway.

I should've said meat, instead of flesh. :P

Okay, I'm off to bed my new friends.

Why?

I did at first but it made this discussion forum too wide, I think. If you click on the link it will go there. If you want the URL, just right button click and choose "Copy Shortcut"...

I like it now. When I first responded, it was really big.

I meant like this...

Disney World - short and sweet.

Do I have to teach you everything? :P

Here's something you may appreciate.

I thought I would spell check my portuguese.
I went to Google and clicked on language tools and did choose to translate from Porguguese to English "minya esposa brasileria" and it gave me "minya wife would brasileria"

I double checked and, yep, I got it right and Yahoo machine language translator screwed up. It is supposed to be "my brazilian wife". The word, "Brazilian" is not even in the electronic dictionary for the Portuguese language.

Now for the next line.

"O talvez ella ajuda e apredar voce'" is translated electronicly into English as Ella aid and perhaps apredar voce '

OK, so it cannot even translate the word for "you" and "her" just because the puncuation is not easy to do on an english keybord. And "Ajuda" means usually "help" not "aid".

Computer translation is crap. I can say "crap", Lance, because you actually name your forums "crap". Now I am motivated to get working on my web site, CompleteTranslations.com this weekend. Anyone want to volunteer as beta testers?

Hey, this goes with my Spanish translation from Scott's tissues. :lol:

I'll help with the testing. I have no plans this weekend.
