Strandbeest

Post by beachlion »

And now for something totally different .... the Strandbeest.

Theo Jansen is Dutch, an engineer and with a liking of the beach and silly things. This could be me on all accounts.

The videos explain everything. And you can see the nice beaches I left behind.

There are also model kits so I ordered one. It came in the mail this morning and after lunch, I assembled it. And it worked. How much fun can you have from $7 ?

DON QUIXOTE - "Egads Pancho ! What kind of a windmill abomination am I fighting here !" ?
"YES SKIRTING MATTERS"!
"Kilt-On" -or- as the case may be "Skirt-On" !
WHY ?
Isn't wearing a kilt enough?
Well a skirt will do in a pinch!
Make mine short and don't you dare think of pinching there !
