Giant Robotic Spider Is Going To Completely Destroy Liverpool On Friday

The 50-foot robotic spider you see pictured here is going to come alive on Friday and fuck all kinds of shit up in Liverpool.

Weighing 37 tons and standing 50ft high, the spider is currently clinging to the side of Concourse Tower in the city.


"The huge insect spotted in Liverpool is in fact entirely mechanical and part of a new piece of street theater organized to mark its year as Capital of Culture. It is thought the insect will come down from its current position tomorrow and then 'wake up' on Friday before starting to explore the city. Tens of thousands of visitors are expected in Liverpool over the three days to try and see the mechanical arachnid."


Apparently, the spider is a component in an elaborate bit of street theater that will take place at various landmarks throughout the city—culminating in a "spectacular finish" on Sunday.

So, I'm interested in seeing this but from very, very far away. Apparently, "French scientists" are going to pull it down so they can run "tests" on it in the new "Echo Arena" concert venue there. I call it "bullshit" and hope everyone has a "good time." And by "good time" I mean, "has a chance to get the fuck out of there before everything gets FUBAR." " " " " " "
