Perhaps the windmills shall truly be giants now.

Have you seen a living umbrella? It's a serious question. The world has been visited by a strange race of creatures: living wind sculptures. How these creatures came into being is at once well known and mysterious; inspired by the works of Theo Jansen , people began to build mechanical sculptures designed to turn wind energy into motion; eventually they began to be able, through simple mechanical computers, to in some small way begin to react to the world around them. They evolved more complex forms of motion, not evolved through the mechanisms of life, but through the minds of those strange souls who, catching by chance a glimpse of one of these rare and elusive creatures was compelled to build one, and improve upon the design of the one they saw. And so come we to the mysterious living umbrella that so many have seen, because they are becoming more and more common, being spotted in such diverse locations as Milan, Troy, and Culo City, Florida. Part of their durability is due in part to their ability to camouflage themselves. Few people notice them except when it is raining and they have forgotten their umbrella, and in that case they are so grateful to the living umbrella for providing shelter that they would never think of harming it.
