It did seem way off the mark to me, too.

I saw a new type on a home improvement type show a few months ago. It
looks like a giant patio umbrella for the lack of a better explanation.
It was H.U.G.E. and I do mean BIIIIIG and it was $30,000, U.S. dollars.
Somehow I vaguely remember them saying it was like a sunflower and it
turns and follows the suns path. Then again I may have just dreamed
that part.
