Beach-walking artificial "life"

[MarkBC]

This has nothing to do with The West or camping....but it so damn cool (IMHO) that I thought others might like to check this out:

Theo Jansen's Strandbeests - Wallace & Gromit's World of Invention Episode 1 Preview - BBC One

The creator of these "creatures" seems to be a bit crazy...or maybe just a dedicated artist...either way.

(This really belongs at Burning Man...never been there in person, but I've seen similarly-amazing cool stuff on the Burning Man website.)

I didn't really find this...I'm not a regular visitor to YT, but a friend of mine forwarded this to me -- he thought I'd appreciate it -- he was right!

Those are really cool. As an added bonus I hear they taste like chicken.
