There's a better AP picture here from the Daily Mail

I'd like to know more about the dozen engineers strapped to the spider. I can't see them in the picture.

I think they're not there yet.

Is that where tw was hiding?

I would love to be one of the engineers riding/driving that beast!

Bwahahahaahaaa! Kneel before me, puny human! Hey, wait, don't run so fast! Come back!

This must be the same dudes with the giant fairytale puppets.

Looks really steampunk to me.

Maybe this is the beast responsible for the world wide web?

...pranged his car...

I love that word, prang.

Genius.

Why is the spider's booty sticking up like that? Is there a giant bull in the area?

Aha! I've been getting promo emails for weeks about the arrival of La Machine. Good to know what it actually is. Can't wait to see pictures of it in action.

Of course the hate Mail has to add in the comment from the Taxpayer's Alliance. How we ever get to host the European City of Culture is beyond me.

That effer better stay the hell away from my tuffet!

Um, what's a tuffet?

A short seat with covered legs - like an ottoman or hassock.

Ahhhh...think we called those "footstools." :)

I thought it was a tuft of grass..?
Which is why the pictures in nursery rhymes books always have her outside
