- Duositex, on 07/08/2008, -0/+9Normally I HATE comments about "did anyone read the headline as..."

- sparkmonkeyz, on 07/08/2008, -0/+2How many times can this amazing video really hit the home page? I guess as long as there is people who haven't seen it.
- MtheoryX, on 07/09/2008, -0/+2It's way older.
We had him out at his university last year; I got some great time-lapse footage of him putting together one of these.
Also, Theo is a great guy to talk to. - inactive, on 07/08/2008, -0/+2i heard him speak at exhibitor magazine's 'gravity free' event this last may. he's an amazing man.

- InsaneOni, on 07/09/2008, -0/+2It's so sad most engineers don't understand the beauty of machines. Most of the guys I went to school with just wanted the paycheck and a semi interesting job.
- powderedsnow, on 07/08/2008, -1/+3I met him at Solidworks World, last January. http://flickr.com/photos/powderedsnow/2223294161/
He is a true Inventor. - themastersb, on 07/09/2008, -0/+2All of a sudden I want to buy a BMW and the strange thing about that is I don't even have a driver's license yet.
- luv2sor, on 07/08/2008, -2/+4It looks like a cross between a lion fish and a crab.
- NaziHatinChimp, on 07/08/2008, -1/+2You know I wanted to bury this for just being a commercial to shove ***** down your throat. Then I remembered that awesome kinetic sculpture they put into their own museum so maybe they are inspired in some way.
- scooterbaga, on 07/09/2008, -0/+1So... is this leading up to wind powered beamers?

- skyroket, on 07/09/2008, -1/+1Yeah I thought he was going to make one of those sand-sculptures of a pair of boobs. This turned out to be a little bit more awesome, thankfully.
- yakuzagi, on 07/08/2008, -0/+0Theo Jansen's stuffs been Dugg before. As old as the interwebs. Too bad it had to be pulled back to the future through a Bimmer ad.
