Chinese Man Builds His Own Bionic Hands from Scrap Metal

Ok… I am speechless. Still can write though.

Let me write that again, Chinese man builds his own bionic hands from scrap metal. Amazing work indeed. The Daily Mail reports that after losing both of his hands and forearms while building a homemade bomb (!) that detonated prematurely, 51 year-old Sun Jifa decided he wasn’t done building stuff. Instead of feeling discouraged when the hospital suggested prosthetic arms he couldn’t afford, Jifa set to work assembling his own. Eight long years later, he completed the ultimate DIY project by building a working pair of prosthetic hands without the aid of fingers.

Isn’t this almost “dafuq did I just read?” material, guys?
