Troy Hurtubise, star of the awesome documentary Project Grizzly, has invented a lot of stuff. Bear suits, fire paste, blast cushions, the Angel Light (or “God Light”)… the list goes on and on (not really, actually – it pretty much ends right around there). But these unbelievable (in the truest sense of the word) inventions don’t grow on trees! It takes a lot of money to come up with prototypes for machines that basically perform magic, so it’s no wonder that Ol’ Troy’s a little hard up for cash. Down on his luck, Troy did what anyone else would do – scrounged around his house looking for shit to hock on eBay. Except while most of us usually come up with some shitty old clock (might be rare/antique!) and a handful of scratched ska CDs, Troy found a body armor suit called The Trojan. Bidding is up to $10,000 right now, but if his item description is to be believed, that’s a real steal – the suit supposedly cost $150,000 to develop. It all kind of reminds me of that old saying: one man’s financial ruin is another man’s opportunity to acquire sweet shit.
