This is really cool. Reminds me a bit of a <a href="http://www.ted.com">Ted</a> talk I saw with <a href="http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/theo_jansen_creates_new_creatures.html">The Jansen</a> who made these giant (wooden? plastic?) mechanical beach-walkers, which already is an interesting setup for a story. I can't help but also think of Italo Calvino's <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Cosmicomics-Italo-Calvino/dp/0156226006">Cosmicomics</a> here and wonder what type of story he would either tell of these creatures, or of their genesis. Or, of course, their impending war! Thank you <a href="http://www.boingboing.net">BoingBoing</a>. 03:35 PM | 0 Comments | Tags: inspiration, science
