Prosthetic limbs have come a long way since wooden peg legs and pirate hooks. Which explains why I was surprised by the fact that this arm below looks so obviously non-lifelike.
When you imagine walking romantically hand in hand, this is unlikely to be the hand you had in mind.
What do you think this robotic arm might be for? Not what the arm is for, but the fictional story this photo might reveal in your imagination.

When I said lend me a hand, I didn’t actually mean lend me a hand.
Note to self: next time the garbage disposal get jammed – don’t try to fix it yourself. CALL A REPAIR MAN
I’m sorry ma’am. We can reattach the arm, but he’ll never be able to fly fish again.
Well you did say you wanted a wrist shot
No, you wont have to pay tax on this one; it’s a pirate copy
I guess I will help Max Büsser a hand on his new creation…
This spindle will aptly compensate for the loss of one’s favored nasal archaeological digit…
Seriously? These oversized watches have gotten out of hand. Have you seen the size of the lugs on the newest model?
Yes – this is my 904L stainless hand, but I also have the rose gold model for special occasions. My flesh & bone timepiece completes the look.
