Mechanical Elephant Walks Through London: Weird news at Its Best

<div style="line-height: 21px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Did you ever feel the world weighing down on you? Then you should have been in the streets of London when a ten-ton mechanical elephant was seen walking through the streets lighting up faces and towering down upon your tiny presence before it. This wacky invention is the work of Francois Delaroziere who was asked to make it as a celebratory token for the death of Jules Verne. Standing at the height of roughly a building, this piece of abomination needs as many as twenty two people who pull and push a combination of  hydraulic levers and buttons to be able to control the mammoth machine and make it move. The strange bit is the fact that the mechanical beast can actually imitate a real elephant and spray water from its huge mechanical trunk.</span></div><div style="line-height: 21px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="http://www.wackyowl.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Mechanical-Elephant-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Mechanical Elephant 1" height="299" src="http://www.wackyowl.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Mechanical-Elephant-1.jpg" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(223, 223, 223); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-color: initial; border-left-color: rgb(223, 223, 223); border-left-style: solid; border-left-width: 1px; border-right-color: rgb(223, 223, 223); border-right-style: solid; border-right-width: 1px; border-style: initial; border-top-color: rgb(223, 223, 223); border-top-style: solid; border-top-width: 1px; display: block; height: 400px; margin-bottom: 17px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 17px; padding-bottom: 3px; padding-left: 3px; padding-right: 3px; padding-top: 3px; width: 535px;" title="Mechanical Elephant 1" width="400"></a></span></div><a href="http://pmodels.blogspot.com/2011/06/mechanical-elephant-walks-through.html#more">Continue Reading...</a>
