Engineer born with one hand makes a prosthetic one out of plastic
bottles for $800.

One of Enzo Romero's favorite activities is playing the guitar, which he
effortlessly does with his bright blue hand. Initially, it used to hurt, as he
used his handless right arm to press down on chords. But now, with
fingers on the end, he can play music painlessly.

It all began with 'The Empire Strikes Back', the 1980 epic space movie.
Towards the end of the movie, Luke Skywalker loses his right hand, in a
duel with Vader. But, he gets outfitted with a prosthetic L-hand 980, one
that could not only move but feel.
