The Biggest Monster Muncher Ever & Other BIG stuff..and banal chit chat too :-)
« on: 31/10/2008 18:09:31 »
Oh My Giddy Aunt,

Will ewe take a look at my latest new toy ?..being delivered next Tuesday !

 [ Invalid Attachment ]


It's the RB293 Excavator and it stands nearly 100 meters high !.., that's about the same as a 26 storey building......and it weighs an astonishing 14,196 tonnes.

It is in fact a moving land vehicle and thus holds the record for the largest moving land vehicle ever !

Gosh, I hope I am in when it gets delivered next Tuesday...if not..I'll leave a note that my neighbour will gladly accept it on my behalf.

Why not post your pictures of BIG stuff here ? !....perhaps lets fine-tune the posts to the largest of a particular type !

Svetlana Pankratova currently holds the Guinness World Record for the woman with the longest legs.
She recently met China’s He Pingping.  According to the Guinness Book of Records, He Pingping is the world’s shortest man.

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]


Pankratova’s legs measure 132 cm or 4.33 feet.  She is 6′7″ and is not the tallest woman.  That distinction was until recently held by Sandy Allen who was 7′7″.   She died at age 53 last month.  He Pingping, 20,  is 2′5″.

I dread to think what the motor insurance on that RB293 Excavator is.

Neil, You may have been conned by a slick salesman here. Careful examination of the photos of the two excavators reveals they are not the same. The bottom one, is a truly gargantuan beast which every sheep would want in his field, but the top one (a photo of a real excavotor), although large, is much smaller. It would not surprise me if there are quite a few Australian sheep who have one of these.

Let's just say that if I had chose which I had to stand beneath, I'd prefer the gams.  Very impressive, and hardly a monster either.

...And its claws are as big as cups, and for some reason it's got a tremendous fear of stamps! And Mrs Doyle was telling me it's got magnets on its tail, so if you're made out of metal it can attach itself to you! And instead of a mouth it's got four arses!

The last time I saw legs that length they were on a Derby winner.
(Shouldn't "He Pingping" change his name to "Mee Nee Hy" ?  [:)] )

Why would she have baby cows up her skirt anyway?

My Dad is a farmer. He loves fat calves.

I hope she doesn't do a peepee on pingping.
