I just wish they showed more of it doing something other than the legs going up and down.  :?

Too bad it wasn't actually walking. Nice work of "art" though.

Actually, theres a similar statue on the grounds of the Art Museum in Ottawa.  ;) At least there was when I was there in March.

Ok, its not as similar as I initially thought. The British one is much much cooler and "funtional" than ours.... Although it did make for a rather startling discover as we drove by the national gallery!
