Easy. Bionic leg. Given that we are years, maybe decades away from surpassing human dexterity with the arms, and most of the complexity of walking happens in the balance that your brain handles. Also, while an arm that surpassed human strength would be impractical due to the likelihood of shoulder or lower back damage, the legs already bear your weight. So you could maybe get in some really nice ups that way, as long as you put your best foot forward. (Bad, I know.)

Also, if you wanted to be a cyberdeath-assassin, it would be jawsome to be the world's most feared assassin hopping twenty feet on one foot in pursuit of your prey.

This is true. However, if I were really going to be a cyberdeath-assassin, I'd hope that cybernetics would be significantly improved. In which case, a cybernetic arm with a weapons-link autotarget system, at least one cybernetic eye and rudimentary brain augmentation would be totally necessary along with the cybernet leg(s). Not to mention some form of skeletal reinforcement and organ shielding would be nice. Throw an implant that puts caffeine directly into my blood in there.

eventually, i am going to get cybernetic legs, having fucked up fleshy ones and all

Teltsa's grandmother has cybernetic knees... but it just isn't the same, somehow. Also, they are purely mechanical, and work with her muscles, whereas this new technology actually responds to nerve impulses.

Seriously though, if I live to the age of 80, mark my words, I will either have had a longevity treatment, or I'll be mostly cyborg to make up for the weakening of my frail human flesh.

yes, I just wanted to say frail human flesh, sue me.

terminator style

Hey, i'm not getting on your ass for saying "frail human flesh" .......fuck, i would have said it, too......"frail human flesh...."
But anyway, yea i have given up on my legs working. Don't get me wrong, i have given them pleeeeenty of chances, they just don't like me. But what would after being impaled with 4 inch cacti spines and being run over an SUV because i wouldn't sleep with it's owner. Wow i made that sound like the SUV chose to do it. If i get to be fifty, i am just going to be all metal and wires, i won't want new parts mingling with the old, nasty, rotting ones X-D

Hey, i heard a rumor that you have a nephew. Congratulations, and tell me about him. I find that completely weird, despite my having a child myself.
