This is a cool idea, if a bit random.

An Afghan inventor has created a wind-powered minesweeper that moves around like a tumbleweed.

Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

Hey if it works why not.  Although I can't imagine you could count on that thing to get the job thoroughly done.  Although it would be cool to see that thing rolling around in the wind followed by explosions.
