"Organic superlubricant is slippery stuff."

OK, so it's not quite organic superlubricant.  But after visiting the orthopedist this morning (details of the reasons here, as well as in a couple of other recent posts also behind my medical filter), I now have bio-engineered high-viscosity synthetic lubricant in my right knee.  (If it goes well, we'll probably do the left too.)

Is that cool, in a sort of cyberpunk way, or what?

Hollow titanium! Just squish the marrow back in there.

Honestly, I guess it's not the bones I care about as much as the joints.

Replicating the range of a biological joint in a single mechanical joint is, I understand, a really bloody difficult problem.

Titanium skeleton ....... that would be SOOOOO much fun at TSA checkpoints. :) Why, you might have to go to and from the departure lounge several times, just to make their day more interesting.
