With the addition of “The Caterpillar” attachment, Dutch artist Theo Jansen’s Strandbeest kinetic walking sculptures can now tow a human along the beach. How about that! Mount a metal detector to that thing and we’ll be unearthing watches and coins in no time. Cha-ching! I still remember the first time

This is a short but delightful video of a beachgoer being swallowed by a beach umbrella that was freed from its sandy prison by high winds. It attaches itself to that person like a facehugger! Hey, if you’re going to give birth to an alien baby, there are far worse
