La Machine - giant spider causes traffic chaos in Liverpool

[@RachelBartlett]

Love it! Masses of people interrupting their normal routine to watch peaceful work is always awesome. Like a giant silent party.

[@cherrypicker710]

what was it for?

[@hogle]

what a magical event for liverpool i cant wait to see her wake up absolutely spectacular

[@KayC720]

i don't kno about you but arachnophobia would put me off seeing this moving

[@gracieBABYtm]

It was a art thing and it had been up on the side of the building and then moved so that it could be demonstrated moving like the sultans elephant in london in 2006 its the same company but with a spider today its walking through the city.its going to look amazing.

[@zerton]

can it come to chicago

[@teevisHC]

That's like the dead spider position type thing. It's dead?

[@Industriajor]

was it used for any movie or something? i guess most of the people is asking if its real meaning if its a real controlable machine or just a statue...

[@gracieBABYtm]

11.30h The creature wakes up 12.30h The creature goes to sleep. 14.45h The creature leaves and walks up Water Street. 15.30h The creature arrives at Town Hall. 15.40h The creature walks towards Derby Square via Castle Street. 16.00h Water ballet at Derby Square 16.15h The creature walks down Lord Street to Holy Corner 17.00h The creature sleeps. 18.30h The creature wakes and walks down Parker Street, 20.00h tempest Ranelagh Place. 20.30h The creature at Concourse Tower, climbs up the tower

Never mind the elephant spraying water plenty of rain 5/9/08 when it came alive and sprayed water at the Albert Dock.

[@stueymon]

i can just imagine hundreds of scouse junkies giving up and going clean after seeing this walking down the street! 3 ton spider will make anyone give up drugs!

[@amber2cute101]

ok real or fake? email me with ur answer?! and idk it lookes dead! and were did it go for shelter and were the hell did it come from!?!

[@quinn1133]

they are very brave leaving it in liverpool overnight i went to have a look this morning the legs had gone and it was on bricks

[@kazpmk]

It's a sunny day for England!

[@correlis]

Yeah, because you must pay a lot of tax from your salary at MacDonalds, yes?

[@brandon9271]

just put spikes on the feet! You could impale people as they run as in fear! excellent idea :)

[@uptheras]

I went sunday bit of a swizz if you ask me spider should have woke up at 3pm but canceled until 7pm.There were people who had travelled from Manchester to see it.Overhyped a bit like the tall ships .That was brill back in '92 yet this year not as many ships even though it's capital of culture year.Crowds were mega though.Sorry I'm proactive towards the city just a little dissapointed with things.

[@gracieBABYtm]

because it was being moved it started moving last night and today its walking

[@quinn1133]

wow thats amazing youve got me spot on. im very impressed with all those long words its amazing what those speak and spells can teach you nowdays it seems only you have taken it personally then again it doesnt suprise me, any 38yr old who spends all their time on a computer and calls themselves a DUDE needs to get out alot more

[@ScowseGrouse]

yeah, never heard that before have we? LOL

[@teevisHC]

And then it just miraculously comes back to life? (Turns on)

[@jonbj007]

Actually I did spell the word crass correctly!check it out in the dictionary. We are educated in Liverpool also, have good humour but don't always get the 'joke' when it has other connotations.

[@quinn1133]

we,ll call it a draw it wasnt meant to offend anyone(just a joke) nothing wrong with a bit of banter is there, all the best

[@ScowseGrouse]

Yeah. Great event... looking forward to the weekend antics. Ignore TrueBlue, folks. Obviously somebody who has not been to Liverpool and is a little bit jealous. (we have paid for it ourselves. We don't need your tax thank you)

[@ownerfate]

reminds me of an anime called ghost in the shell... but that spider is cool

[@mono14]

dude is just an expression ive used all my life. its a rock thing you jumped up rave junky...... \m/

[@vulebre]

Someone should call military or some superhero!

[@amber2cute101]

ok 1:10 u can tell it is fake there r himges on it!

[@jonbj007]

no it didn't get stolen and was enjoyed by the whole city - how sad you are to make such a crass comment

[@tasteslikechildren]

Woo i saw that think walk in liverpool fuckin amzaing

[@ITDOESNTMATTER420]

it would be cool if it was real and no its not real its a machine

[@vaynardkills]

@suntzzu hahahahaha dude i read you're reply to that kids message and i about pissed myself i laughed so fucking hard lol u r fucking awesome

[@macca1302]

No offence quinny we can all still laugh up here. Just get a bit sick of the stereotyping - particularly when I go to job interviews! (Oh god... now I'll get the scouser in a job jokes!) LOL

[@macca1302]

quinn1133 thanks for the youtube email you sent me. Obviously you DO care or you wouldn't have gone to all that trouble. You really should learn to spell though before you say you say how clever someone is. Intelectual is actually spelt intellectual. So who's a clever boy then. LOL
