		<title>Solar Chariot Powered by Robotic George Bush</title>
		<description><![CDATA[(Solar Videos) Place this one under the &#8220;strange&#8221; category. This is a solar-powered chariot that isn&#8217;t powered by a motor, but rather a solar powered walking robot made to sort of look like George W. Bush.  It&#8217;s a strange idea, but take a look at the video below for the philosophy behind it&#8230; www.youtube.com/watch?v=45ZquJIolvY]]></description>
