Maybe, but they rebuilt him. They had the technology.

I wonder, if after the conversion to the value of a dollar in 2006, what Steve Austin would be worth.

Too long of a title for a TV show. Even worse than 8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter (R.I.P. John Ritter).

Yeah, but killing John Ritter made the title shorter. That happens sometimes. Didn't work well for Valerie's Family, but two words still works.

For 26 million dollars you'd think we could AT LEAST get a guy who could kick Bigfoot's ass! WEAK!

Did Jamie Sommers also require 6 million dollars to be fixed....and what about the dog?
And the Bionic hearing was lame. What use was that compared to the bionic eye. At least with the eye you could focus in on one target. That hearing crap would provide you nothing useful and a whole bunch of blaring ambient noise.

The hearing can let you hear a lot of shit. I remember her using it to crack a safe--a handy skill for a spy.

Umm...why the hell do you need to "crack" a safe when you're bionic? Smash the fucking thing...rip the safe door right off it's hinges.

Bashing it would make more noise if she were trying to be sneaky.

WASHINGTON -- A light wind was cited by federal investigators Friday for blowing a small airplane carrying Yankees pitcher Cory Lidle off course and into a New York City high-rise on Oct. 11.
The National Transportation Safety Board said the wind, coupled with the pilot's inability to turn sharply, forced the aircraft away from its intended path over the East River and into the building.
The airplane, which also carried flight instructor Tyler Stanger, struck the building and fell 30 stories to the street below. Investigators do not say whether they determined who was at the controls of the Cirrus SR20.
The report issued Friday said the airplane was flying along the East River between Manhattan and Queens when it attempted a U-turn with only 1,300 feet of room for the turn. To make a successful turn, the aircraft would have had to bank so steeply that it might have stalled, the NTSB said in an update on the crash.
Lidle and Stanger were making an aerial tour of Manhattan before flying back to California.
Though Stanger was an experienced pilot, Lidle was not.
Investigators found no problem with the propeller and engine, nor did they find any evidence of a fire or other damage while the airplane was in flight.
If the pilot used the full width of the river to turn, he would have had 2,100 feet, the NTSB said. Instead, the pilot was flying closer to the middle of the river, leaving a smaller margin for error, the staff report said.
Two days after the accident, the Federal Aviation Administration ordered small, fixed-wing planes not to fly over the East River unless the pilot is in contact with air traffic controllers.
Small planes could previously fly below 1,100 feet along the river without filing flight plans or checking in with air traffic control. The FAA said the rule change -- a temporary one -- was made for safety reasons.
The NTSB's update outlined factual information about the crash, but did not conclude what the probable cause of the crash was. The full board will likely vote on a ruling at a later date.
