My friend shown me this article and I couldn't help but post it here just for a bit of a laugh, because when I saw it I was like, wow, HF will like this! He knew I'd like it... he studies Biology at Cambridge University.

Of course in the Halo novels, the Spartans super strength comes from biological engineering and adjustments to the skeleton, like fusing titanium to it and everything. How cool is that for news though. Comments and thoughts, think anything close to Spartans will one day be serving in the armed forces!
