Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh I remember that. What was that show called? Wasn't it Japanese?
VHI had a hilarious program about the 70's, I was laughing my butt off. Thank goodness I was only a kid then.

Escaflowne ping... does his giant mecha come with Gregorian choir to follow around and provide background music?

By the way, that's a strange place to hide a flashlight.

If it doesn't, he should scrap it and start over...

Yeah but what if it trips and falls over? Can it get back up again?He claims he's building it bottom heavy so that wouldn't (for the most part) be a problem.

When completed, the idea is for the pilot to be able to strap himself into a central, padded compartment, and then control the mecha with the motions of his own body. When the pilot walks, the mecha walks. Something like this was on the cover of Popular Science in the 1960's. This was during a period when the government was supporting research into devices that would magnify human strength.

Wait'll you see her in action (yes, I've seen the first NINE episodes, and no, they won't be on in the US until next month)...

Owens, a 26 year-old steel worker in Anchorage, AK . . . reportedly has never had a girlfriend. : ) Bingo. Sad, actually.

That is FAR scarier than even RoboSapien. The only thing it's not as scary as is the ED209 from
RoboCop 2.

Since everyone's afraid of sending in planes to bomb Iran's weapon sites, maybe we could send this guy in.

And we all know how well that worked out for this guy.
