An inventor or a used car salesman?

.. or maybe just target practice?

Hamilton Spectator - Full Body Armor

He talks funny, but you go decide for yourself.

Personally, I'm being reminded of some kind of early '90 or late '80 SF television series, in which officers wore similar suits to battle early computer renderings of evil soldiers. Except they could fly too. If only I could remember the name of that series..

ROTFLMAO!!!!

Jeeeez, "2 years and $15 000 in development," and voila! the next generation of body armor is born, with an clock hanging between your legs. I'm sure military bigwigs will show up at the next local SF convention for a presentation going "Gee, why didn't we think of this before!" I want to see this dork get shot wearing that suit. Any caliber of ammo above a .22 will do. I want to see him stand next to a car bomb when it goes off, or step on a landmine. How about needing to take a dump, that ought to be a winner...

Thanks Tricky, that lit up a lousy day.
