I can't imagine! I am sure he is a millisecond from slamming that door and running to the top?

I bet he hates "beginner day".

The folks in the offices behind him pro'bly aren't too keen on it either.

I have days like that, 'cept the target's lower.

The only job in the world where you'd happily be made redundant by a stick?

He looks Chinese, so it makes sense. People cost less than wood.

That is very, very, VERY real. I've seen it, or something exactly like it.

Labour is so cheap in China that, like, on those ticket machines at the entrance to car parks, they have a person whose entire job is simply to take the ticket from the machine and hand it to you in your car. No joke.

Yeah. That'll work.

Anyone know what this railcar snapped in West Virginia is?

glatt · 06-20-2007, 05:21 PM

It's from a 1:64 scale model railroad. It's just a novelty salt shaker.

Fissionable materials? The fins on the container could help keep the contents cool.

But as it says under the pic - it's apparently not cargo - it's part of the train.

Some sort of leaf blowing device?
Which would usually be at the front of a rear engine driven train but is currently just being moved during the summer?

Its the Forse field genarator for MX Trains !!

I thought it might be to X-ray track welds but there are no warning signs and the DOD numbers don't make sense.

Rail demagnetizer? X-ray scanner for cracks? My first guess was actually a hydroelectric generator .. it's too big to lay on a car, so they just bolted some wheels to it.

They're building a giant robot that's a cross between Jordi LaForge and Boba Fett?
