I can't believe this. You just have to watch.
This was sent by email from a friend of mine. Here's the explanation that came with it:
This incredible machine was built as a collaborative effort between the Robert M. Trammell Music Conservatory and the Sharon Wick School of Engineering at the University of Iowa . Amazingly, 97% of the machine's components came from John Deere Industries and Irrigation Equipment of Bancroft , Iowa .. Yes, farm equipment! It took the team a combined 13,029 hours (6.26 years) of set-up, alignment, calibration, and tuning before filming this video but as you can see, it was WELL worth the effort. It is now on display in the Matthew Gerhard Alumni Hall at the University and is already slated to be donated to the Smithsonian.
Well, guess what. It's a fake! I showed it to SWMBO and she said, "It's not real. It's computer animation." That sent me to the Interwebs and darned if she isn't right. Snopes has the goods on it at this location.
Blast! Guess I'm getting gullible in my old age.
