| This picture really is the best thing I've ever drawn |
When you're learning how to walk with a prosthetic, you're going to fall down a lot. Actually, even after you've pretty much mastered prosthetics, you'll still probably fall down at least some.

Pro #4: Learn what it feels like to be a ghost!
You remember this post? (WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT CLICK ON THAT LINK). With a phantom limb and the lovely sense of proprioception, you can feel like the wall (or the bed, or somebody's hand, or the cat) is in the same place as your leg, transforming you into a ghost!

| Without dying! |
Dogs look at me suspiciously. One of my cousins cries every time he sees my leg. Another one of them refused to hug "a robot."

Pro #5: Kids might think you're some kind of awesome, part-robot thing!
My cousin Gurgi eventually came around and decided that my robot leg is the coolest thing ever. He even asked if he could wear my foot as a shoe.

| Technically, the answer is yes, but don't tell him that! |
"Do you wear it to bed?" "YOU CAN TAKE IT OFF?!" "Why does your knee bend?" "Why doesn't your knee bend?" "Did it hurt?" "Can I touch it?" "Do you have a phantom limb?"

| Just dance away slowly... |
Seriously, like 2 people read my blog before I chopped off my leg. But now there are like 10 of you following me!

| Instant internet fame! |
Bored Game Time!
