Tony Stark delivers 3-D robotic arm to 7 y/o

The kid, a huge Iron Man fan, was born with a malformed arm. A grad student built him a new one using 3-D printing tech, and Robert Downey, Jr. delivered it dressed as Tony Stark.

Pretty darn cool.

I saw this the other day. Awesome.

"Do you know who this is?"

"Ironman"

I saw this from a link elsewhere. It is fantastic.

The link u put up went 404, though.

Thanks for the heads up, fixed. Odd that the link changed, and just by two letters.

No problem. Also, my keyboard seems to think that I'm becoming conversant in txtspk and wants to render you as u. Sorry about that.

Sounds like new keyboard time! I have problems with my Win 7 PC at work occasionally backspacing on me, particularly after a period or comma. I thought it might be some sort of autocorrect where it doesn't like me doing two spaces after a period, but I haven't really dug in to it yet.

Thankfully, all I have to do is tell it not to predict that, and all is well.
