The Strandbeest

This is a crazy art-project using found items. Dutch artist Theo Jansen made this from lemonade bottles and plastic tubes. The crazy part is that it WALKS. Even crazier is that its “brain” is made of bottles so that if there is a storm, the water causes it to lower its sails and dig into the ground. Videos and more pics are posted here.
