HULK With A 'C' Instead Of A 'K' Isn't Nearly As Cool

Though the English letter 'k' is generally thought of as being much "cooler" than 'c'(which is ironic, seeing as how the word used to compare the aforementioned letters in question begins with the letter that is less equated to that word), the HULC is still a damn cool piece of engineering.

What is this less cool Hulk? Well, despite its inferior spelling methodology, the HULC is far cooler than the comic book character whom likely was the inspiration for the name. The HULC is an exoskeleton that allows a person to carry large amounts of weight with relative ease. Using very advanced software, it interprets the wearer's movements and intended actions, then augments those actions.

Word form other sources is that its battery technology still isn't up to par to be viable in combat. However, even in its current state, it could allow soldiers to become human forklifts where real forklifts are simply cumbersome and not utilitarian enough to be brought in.

Had The Blog Keeper truly expected machines like this to become viable shortly within his lifetime, it's plausible to say that he would have continued his originally intended childhood dream of engineering, as opposed to becoming an artist.

I(yes, I, His Mighty Keeper Of The Blog) present to you now, dear, solitary reader, The Cool Thingamujig Of The Day.
