Tell me about the most interesting person you've ever met...

And I'll tell you about who I met and now have as a customer.....

Due to non-disclosure, I can only list off a few things. His company:

Built all moving dinosaurs for all Jurassic Park movies.
Built & installed 1/4 mile worth of water cannons and lights for the Bilaggio in Vegas that operate within MM parameters
Built and sold patent for bionic suits to the military
Built & sold patent on drug injection pumps
Makes all moving animated parts for Disney
Makes robotic hands for deep water exploration
Made smallest color video camera, focus and aperture, thickness of pencil lead
Developed robotic prosthetic arm
Made the Ford robot from the ad campaign, saw it today
Several other military weapons I shouldn't even point out. Has several prototypes of rocket engines and self powered arsenal.
Developed the bionic arm that responds to your arm's movements remotely

In his personal collection of 'cool stuff' he has:

Plutonium powered artificial heart pump
Prototype trigger mechanism for thermal nuclear device
Ford robot
Billagio water cannon to be used in his next house
Bionic suit and arms
Many rocket engines, movie firearms
Rocket engine from 2nd stage of Saturn V Apollo 14 (600psi fuel pressure)
Giant sandstone sample from under the Panama canal when excavated for testing to see if small nuclear blasts could cut new canal
Single lung compression engines
A mill, lathe, and 2 or 3 computerized CNC machines that are sitting collecting dust I can use anytime
Civil war prosthetic with knife, fork, spoon, and hook
10"x5" piece of steel from the World Trade Center. Said he's never seen steel tear like that. I got to hold it. Felt sad.
More than I can remember....it will take a few trips........

Great guy!
