    Engineers design artificial tail for humans...

    https://thenewstack.io/arque-is-an-a...ancing-humans/

    Never ceases to amaze me what some people spend their time on. Don’t know whether to applaud the ingenuity or look on in befuddlement. Why would our species need a tail just after evolution spent thousands of years getting rid of it? Imagine wearing that thing around the house. Anything breakable must be moved to a safe height before strapping that beastie on. Good luck selling it guys. WTF?


    All that belongs to human understanding, in this deep ignorance and obscurity, is to be skeptical, or at least cautious; and not to admit of any hypothesis, whatsoever; much less, of any which is supported by no appearance of probability...Hume

    Women could wear it around Trump.Perhaps a sensitive tip could grab him by the balls if the occasion called for it.

    It would be like an elephant's trunk at the end (or an octopus prosthetic)

    Ill just point out that tails of various sorts, uses, and meanings have been used by groups for a very very long time, so this really isnt something new.

    If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world. -Thorin Oakenshield
