Prosthetic Hand with Wolverine Claws is the Best There is at What it Does

Posted September 10, 2014 11:36 AM

From CNET News:

If you're in need of a prosthetic hand, the accessibility that 3D printing brings is already an awesome thing unto itself -- giving hope to those prohibited by the high costs usually associated with prosthetics. There are a number of open-source projects around the world now, helping to deliver manual ability to the disabled, particularly children.

HAAAAAAAAhahaha ... I get the joke in the heading!

Buddy Hackett, a reknowned comedian, prided himself at being able to say something positive of everyone, no matter how unpleasant. When asked for what he had to say about Adolf Hitler, he thought a moment then answered: "He was the best at what he did."

Nice! :D

Actually, in this case they are referring to an oft used quote from the Wolverine comic books, starting with Wolverine Vol. 1, Issue 1. Of course thats not to say the writers weren't perhaps inspired by the Buddy Hackett quote.
