If nothing else, he can start hiring himself out to do some freelance mercenary work. 😃 ---

So why didn’t he come down south before Christmas? That suit would have been just the thing for going to the mall. ---

I’ve been a fan of this guy for years, ever since I read an article about him in the Annals of Improbable Research ([www.improbable.com](http://www.improbable.com)) . He just keeps getting cooler. Or more insane. One of those, possibly both. ---

This is [Troy Hurtubise](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troy_Hurtubise) , the same guy who “invented” the Angel Light that can make walls transparent, and the “God Light” that cures diseases. He’s either a con-man or completely insane. Or both. ---

I like that he’s bypassed military standards to invent this. That was not sarcasm. The problem is that the military will rerquire compliance to all supplier requirements, which I don’t think the inventor will try to achieve. Sometimes the best inovations are lost to the incompatability of the originator and end user requirements. The guy needs an interface with the military for mutual betterment. ---

Let me add. You can not surpass the expectations of long extablished precidents, if you can not thwart the procedure of conformance. You may quote that if you like. ---

Quite a few years back he made a video demonstrating one of his suits – by being repeatedly run into by a car! ---

I’m still waiting for him to invent sideburns. ---

And then he built more suits, and then they became practically indistinguishable from human beings and were nicknamed ‘toasters’…
