Sometimes I hear about things and it makes me think that I live in the future that I thought only existed in sci-fi books and bad movies with Arnold S. Then my friend sends me this video about the US Army's new "exoskeleton". WTF? Wow.

The video is kind of cheesy, but the Army will deploy test versions of these things in 2008. They also might sell them to construction firms.

If you imagine one of those things with 200lbs of dragon skin type armor... you essentially have a walking tank.

The only problem with advances like this is that they drive enemies to do the same.
