<p>Basically, buzz about this bad girl crossed the interwebs faster than I&#8217;ve seen in a while. After the major anticipation for just what would go down, last weekend La Princess came to life and <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">terrorized the good citizens of Liverpool.</span> seriously bored the fuck out of the good citizens of Liverpool.</p>
<span class="embed-youtube" style="text-align:center; display: block;"><iframe class="youtube-player" width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Qye-9dQb8dQ?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent" allowfullscreen="true" style="border:0;" sandbox="allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation"></iframe></span>
<p>So, while I get that this thing is a mechanical marvel and it&#8217;s definitely an engineer&#8217;s wet dream, it&#8217;s sort of boring, no? Maybe I&#8217;d be more impressed if I actually was there in person to watch it run around at a whopping 2 miles per hour. Make that crawl. Well&#8230; it&#8217;s really more of a meander. Still, I suppose a meandering 50 foot mechanical spider is still something to look at. It was scarier when it didn&#8217;t have the kind of fat British guy sitting in the front steering it.</p>
