Via Memer I came across this news story about giant “animals” that were constructed to roam free on beaches. The giant Animaris Rhinoceros Transport is just amazing, and I wanted to see how it worked, so I went to the link to the strandbeest website where I found a link to the ANIMARIS RHINOCEROS TRANSPORT, which includes an image of the thing moving.

Absolutely fascinating.

Even better, though, is the text:

With the invention of the wheel a revolution was started, and echos of this can be felt along the motorways. Nothing seems to be able to replace the invention of the wheel. Now one thousand years later a transformation has occurred: the Animaris Rhinoceros Transport.

One thousand years since the invention of the wheel!
