Ok, I definitely gotta get me one of these:

The 26-year-old [Carlos] Owens is an Anchorage-area steelworker by day. In his own time, he's hoping to become the creator of a true "mecha"--not a robot, exactly, but a gigantic exoskeleton that can transform its wearer's motions into eight-foot strides and the devastating sweep of a steel fist.

By the one picture, it's already mostly built. Of course, putting something like this together is a completely different task from actually making it move. Props to the guy for his effort, but I'd wager even money we never hear about it again.

But if we do, I want tickets.
