Now I know that titanium is a nonbioreactive material, and that is why is is used for surgical bracing, but I didn't think it would be used as a coating material. I guess I never really thought about that.

It is.

And the whole point is that biosystems can connect to it, there's only limited rejection. Basically it's forming organo-metallic bonds.

Would you look scared if I told you there are people working on it?

They've been working on it for a while at least according to some articles that I read a while back.

Yeah, Jester, I think we are. And I wouldn't be a bit surprised if some one was developing this. It boggles my mind how many people forget that yesterday's comic book nerd is today's research scientist/military weapons designer. Hell, I can think of a few ways to do retractable spurs right off the top of my head. And if I can think of it, then a scientist could easily creat it.

 Well, a hundred years ago was 1904, so that makes sense. Thinking that as far as fifty years ago, people laughed at Ray Bradbury when he said we'd land on the moon someday.

   I hear he kept a notebook with the names of everyone who laughed at him at that party and called them up the night we first landed on the moon to insult them. I like that guy.

that reminds me of the guy in "Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy" going around insulting everyone in the universe.
