Origami (or is that ORIGAM-E?) WALL-E

ORIGAM-E WALL-E is pretty FUNK-EThis is easily one of the coolest things I've ever seen. Brian Chan studied mechanical engineering at MIT so he could learn how do cool stuff.

For instance, he created an origami version of WALL-E from a single uncut square of what looks like shiny gold paper. Click here to see a gallery of four ORIGAM-E WALL-E images.

What blows me away is how expressive those simple little eyes are. If you want to make your own ORIGAMI-E WALL-E, just download Chan's easy-to-follow blueprint. See? Nothin' to it!

If you liked that, check out Chan's origami Iron Man and Batman.

That MIT tuition was clearly money well spent :-)
