Get back to work, you lazy bastard!!

Just in case you're the doubting Thomas.

I think it's for clearing the sea bottom of mud and stuff in harbours so the big boats don't get all messy and stuck.

Come to think of it, I wonder why they have it out in the country side? 'Spose you could dig a hole with it too. Of fuck up the fields for some farmer =D

Apparently it's used for levelling huge swathes of land, hills and all.

I hear they make good coffee makers too.

It looks like it should be loaded full of jawas.

"I hear they make good coffee makers too."

Dammit Mark, you ought to know the only coffee maker a proper IT person would have is Braun.

I've got a great powerpoint of this machine being moved across a highway. The title is "Where's my dozer" In the final pick they show this DC-9 dozer, which is a dman big bulldozer, lying on its side next to one of the shovels on the wheel. The dozer is dwarfed. Pretty cool. I'd send it to you but first would have to find a virus to infect it with.

Thanks Mark. My four year old will love that picture :)

They showed this machine on the History Channel last fall, on the "Mega Machines" show. Truly huge.

"Truly huge."

Why, thank you.

History Channel???

I say it on Discovery, which is a bit more apropriate.

It eats brown coal. Needs one or two powerstations to predigest the wet gloop into electrical energy but you get the idea. What's left over runs Germany.

BTW nice coat, Shark.
