Hey... I'm new here. Yes, I asked a guard about introducing myself, and he told me I could just make a new thread if I wanted. So I will.

Don't worry. I'm no noob who asks stupid questions and double posts. I know how exactly to behave on a forum from experience. I have been pretty interested in the Worms games for a couple of years now, and I finally decided about joining the forum. I'm pretty sure I'll be active here, since I just got Worms Armageddon a few days ago and have been playing it since. These games have to be the most in depth strategy games I have ever played, and I'm not lying about that.

Well, anyway, hello.

Hello to yous.

Hey there. Welcome to the Team 17 Forums.

... you know, we really need a specific "welcome forum". Still, never mind.

Good to see you've been on forums before and know how to behave. Have fun :)

I'm sure I will have fun here. The users here look mighty awesome.

On this forum, checking their lack of sanity is a good indication of how long they've been here.

On this forum, checking their lack of sanity is a good indication of how long they've been here.LOL! that may be the most hilarious and accurate description of the forumers here that I've ever heard.

Sorry Aku, but hugging creeps me out.

It seems that every forum I visit has its own off the wall poster.

Just one? Prepare yourself ;).

Welcome to you.

The users here look mighty awesome.

No, that's just me. :D Ahem.

Sorry, couldn't resist. Hello Fliez.

Welcome to the forum, Fliez!
I hope you like beer.

Just one? Prepare yourself ;).Yeah, we do kinda mass-produce them.

The only reason I haven't done anything off the wall in this thread yet is because I felt Fliez should be introduced to the madhouse gently. Besides, no-one's mentioned cricket, Sonic, steam trains, Discworld, ducks or Johnson's Baby Lotion yet.

Welcome to the forum, enjoy your stay.
this is probably the first serious comment in this thread so far...

Thanks dudes.

Hello and welcome, But a word of warning, stay off the moors!

The moors?

Welcome, by the way.

I'm sure I will have fun here. The users here look mighty awesome.

Whoa, what forum are you looking at? :p

I kid. Welcome.

...I think Aku is one of the more normal posters here, all things considered.

Nobody's been saracstic yet...

Welcome to the forum. Let the corruption begin.

<-- i have an osx poster :p

WTF, Wormthingy? That is really random.

Surely you mean, FTW Wormthingy? Heh heh.

Welcome to the forum! Have a nice time but don't forget-AAAAUGH! MY LEG! I STEPPED IN THE MOOOoooooorssss.....

Ack.

Whoa. That has to be a new record for dying and reviving. On this forum, I think I died twice already...but I forget. I forget because I died. I think. But I forget.

umm...
hi?

welcome to the forums.

WTF, Wormthingy? That is really random.

I love Pickles! (or is that too random?)

On-topic:
Welcome on board Fliez. Have fun.

Hello.

Uhm.. sorry..
Enjoy your stay =D

Hello there! And welcome to the madhou-.. forum.
The people in white clo-, I mean forumers are welcoming you into their tort-... forum.

I think this thread has summed us up quite nicely. Welcome anyhoo.


The only reason I haven't done anything off the wall in this thread yet is because I felt Fliez should be introduced to the madhouse gently. Besides, no-one's mentioned cricket, Sonic, steam trains, Discworld, ducks or Johnson's Baby Lotion yet.Baby lotion?

Baby lotion?
Please, pelase, please remove your post before Paul comes here...

Hello and welcome to the Team17 forums.

I think that this is the only thread title with a point at the end that I have seen in my life

Hi.
Enjoy your sanity while it lasts.

Yes, insanity....>:3
Anyways, Hello!

Baby lotion?

That'll be [UFP]Ghost's sig I presume


AF1xBoggypants~
if you smacked a kid in the face with a bottle of johnson's no more tears shampoo, wouldn't it create beautiful irony

Thanks to robowurmz i have decided to translate it:
Eng-Korean - Eng - Korean - Eng

By the child the mouth alcoholic beverage due to you taste and it taste Johnson which inside the bottle which is a teahouse thing is compared in a tear Siam minute description phwu the irony which is a eye-catcher on face internal, place not to create the theyn

-EDIT- Oh no wait, that's shampoo. Whoops.

Anyway Fliez, are you a good drawer? If you can draw worms well here, you can get elevated to 'Legendary' status here pretty quick. If you're not, and continue to persistantly post bad art, well, just ask agent_luke. Don't say I didn't warn you

I'm actually quite good at drawing. I never really tried to draw a worm before though. I guess I could try.

That'll be [UFP]Ghost's sig I presumeoh you poor, poor people. it's truly a sad day when no one knows what the Miscellaneous Adventures of Paul.Power are.....truly sad...

WTF, Wormthingy? That is really random.

actually i mis-read all the post that said "posters" except from the last one.. :p
so i kinda felt dumb afterwards

oh you poor, poor people. it's truly a sad day when no one knows what the Miscellaneous Adventures of Paul.Power are.....truly sad...

Sorry to say that it dates back even well before that.

Sorry to say that it dates back even well before that.
...unless you had Paul on your DAwatch list. He put together a series of old comics together in one pic a good while ago.

An example of paul.power's inflamible bably lotion is:
http://www.varley9.freeserve.co.uk/wormposs/other/wstory.htm
There somewhere

To be honest, Inflammable Johnson's Baby Lotion wasn't my idea in the first place. I just kinda... adopted it.

(My sigworm's a chemist. Of course he's fascinated by the stuff)

Welcome.
you will come insane,like the rest of us...muahaha

Hi, have pie!

http://www.tonidunlap.com/pumpkin_pie.jpg

There is no way that's a pie. That is a cake.

...unless you had Paul on your DAwatch list. He put together a series of old comics together in one pic a good while ago....What's your point?

There is no way that's a pie. That is a cake.

Look at the filename, 'tis pumpkin pie![/offtopicness]

Sorry to say that it dates back even well before that.where as I do realize that I doubt there's any hope of finding that story thread thing that (if I was told correctly) was the original home of the baby lotion joke. keep in mind that that was well before my time so I'm just going on what I've been told that that was where it came from.

also, I figured they might actually have some way of finding MAPP after reading my post, so I just mentioned that. besides, it's worth the read for several other reasons as well.

edit: dear god, Muzer actually has a back-up of that story?! I didn't think that would've been saved anywhere.....ah well, I'll just withdraw back to my corner then.

Look at the filename, 'tis pumpkin pie![/offtopicness]

Hi, have pie!

OMG IT'S A TART PIE!

Yes, I suppose a tart would be more accurate thinking about it. Definatly not a pie though.

OMG IT'S A TART PIE!No such thing.

And whilst we're on the subject, why do the Americans think they invented apple pie?

And it's pronounced "sc-on", not "sc-one"

Make sure you say it correctly.

No such thing.

Now there is.

And it's pronounced "sc-on", not "sc-one"

Make sure you say it correctly.

No, which is why it's spelt scone, not scon.
The e on the end means the o sound sounds like an o, in the same way as an e on the end of 'bad' changes the a sound to make it 'bade'.
But I thought we got over this discussion...

Now there is.
Bake one then :p

Oh, and it's definatly pronounced 'sc-on' to ryhme with 'gone' :)

Bake one then :p


Crap! I can't bake!

Oh, and it's definatly pronounced 'sc-on' to ryhme with 'gone' :)
I think it all depends on where you're from. I know here we pronounce it "Scone"
(Sc-own) and wherever you're from it's pronounced "Scon" (Sc-on).

No, which is why it's spelt scone, not scon.
The e on the end means the o sound sounds like an o, in the same way as an e on the end of 'bad' changes the a sound to make it 'bade'.
But I thought we got over this discussion...So how do you pronounce monkey and donkey?

The English language doesn't live by simple rules - there are exceptions to all rules.

That's true, but it is pronounced to rhyme with cone.

That's true, but it is pronounced to rhyme with cone.Even though it probably comes from the gaellic word "sgonn"? You have to remember that even just a century ago, many people couldn't write.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scone

Notice, if you will, a place in Scotland called scone. Being fairly close to it, I know that it's officially (i.e, by the locals) pronounced Skon. Now let that be an end to it! :p

Also, welcome to the forum, it's nice to have somebody else that isn't a noob. :p

No, they're a fairly British thing.I pity the rest of the world sometimes. No crumpets, or jellybabies either aparently.

Jellybabies?

Jellybabies?babies of jellyfish :rolleyes:

Jellybabies?Deprived, deprived I tell you!

http://www.coalesce.biz/images/jellybabies.jpg
These are jellybabies, soft slightly chewy jelly sweeties shaped like little people, I heard they were made to celebrate the end of WW1r, but I can't confirm that.

I've been told they removed black jellybabies incase people thought they were being racist and replaced them with dark red ones. Not sure if it's true or not though.

I've been told they removed black jellybabies incase people thought they were being racist and replaced them with dark red ones. Not sure if it's true or not though.
False!
And thank goodness too; removing them jsut for that would likely to create MORE racism.

I don't suppose any of you guys have read the bit in Bill Bryson's new book where he's talking to his grandmother in Bishop's?

(Yes, this has been left intentionally cryptic to show Fliez just how off-topic we can get round here. Roll with it, guys :))

I haven't read his new book at all yet actually. I'm sure we'll buy it sometime, or get it out the library.

Thing is, the section I want to read out is full of racist language.

Not that it's actually racist. It's an anecdote about a grandmother who's a little behind the times talking about her favourite sweet (whose new, politically correct name, is "Liquorice Babies"), and the young Bryson's embarassment as a result.

I hope you see what I'm getting at.

Deprived, deprived I tell you!

According to BK over msn:
They slaughtered the Gummy Bears years ago.
Stupid Gummy Bears.

False!
And thank goodness too; removing them jsut for that would likely to create MORE racism.

Well no, but it would be about as helpful as the bah bah rainbow sheep thing, or insisting black coffee be called coffee without milk, or calling black boards chalk boards, etc, on accounts of it not remotely being racist in the first place.
Frankly, I think any black person who would be offended by the use of the perfectly normal word 'black' to refer to things of a certain colour deserves to be offended, but frankly I doubt there is anyone like that.

well, we have a sour candy that's the same shape and guminess. that's close enough to me

They're not like gummy sweets though (at least that I understand, do you mean like haribo?), they're not properly chewy. They're more soft and hard to describe due to not being like anything much else.

Yes jellybabies are slightly different - the centre is softer/a bit gooier (but I don't mean that in the sense that the inside oozes out I just mean that the centre is less fixed in place. ie. if you squish a jellybaby the centre will squeeze out a bit. Do that with a gummy bear and nothing happens. Jellybabies also taste different) and the outside is quite crisp in comparison. It is hard to explain.

Sorry to go back to the scone thing, but the place called 'scone' is actually pronounced 'skoon', so the previous post was a hideous error on my part. Just thought I'd throw that in.

As you were, gentlemen. :p

Well. I think we should improve Aku's life by sending him a tub of Jelly Babies :p

And yes, jelly. NOT jello :rolleyes:

No, no, it was the one just like my current one, but with a little hand waving! I tried re-making it, but the GIMP's doesn't seem to like timing GIFs properly, it went too fast and looked slighty...wrong.

GIMP times gif's perfectly for me. Are you putting (50ms) at the end of each layer name? By doing this, each frame will last for 50 milliseconds. It doesn't seem to be timed right when I look at it on my computer, but when I upload it onto the internet, it runs perfectly.

Hmm, no :p . I might try that then.

Similarly, if you want a frame to last longer, you can put (300ms) at the end of the layer name, or whatever value you want. That will save on space instead of repeating identical frames over and over again....

EDIT: WTF is this?

Edit2: It would be good if you could enable that WYSIWYG editor now I know it exists.

Bad breakfast:
McDonalds.

Why would you even consider eating breakfast at a fast food restaurant?

Never seen Supersize Me? :p

Plus, alcohol can do strange things to the brain.

They make some bloody nice pancakes, honestly :p

Why would you even consider eating breakfast at a fast food restaurant?That reminds me of when I went to Orlando, stayed in a motel and had breakfast every day at a place called Shony's.

The food they had tasted nice and was plentiful, and the free iced water was a nice touch, but the lack of tea, toast and bananas drove me slowly insane.

Fortunately, the Hilton I stayed at in Houston was far more civilised.

Why would you even consider eating breakfast at a fast food restaurant?Why would you even consider eating at a fast food "restaurant" for that matter?

Because you're in a hurry?

In my opinion, McDonalds is definetly the worst.

The only item I like on their list is the McFlurry, that one is just soo tasty :D

Mmmm chicken nuggets....

http://mooon15.jeeran.com/chicken_head_nugget1.jpg

I'd buy one. Wait, make that a whole pack of them.

I don't find this funny... And this is typically America, a business makes a little mistake and get's sued for like $100.000... what's the frikking use?:mad:
Like I trip over a little thing, break my leg, and sue the builders >_>

I agree, why would you be entitled to compensation because you found a battered chicken head in your packet? Surely you'd just chuck it in the bin and think no more of it.

I disagree.

Paying compensation for a battered chicken head in with the nuggets would surely be a very good insentive for mcDonalds to find out what the hell happened and ensure it never happens again. That isn't a just harmless mistake, it's a full scale cock-up.
In my opinion, McDonalds is definetly the worst.
In the great game of skanky food trumps Wimpy burger beats all.

In the great game of skanky food trumps Wimpy burger beats all.Never actually been to a Wimpy, but they're a british company aren't they? Which puts them above McDonalds in my book.

Why would you even consider eating at a fast food "restaurant" for that matter?Good point. Although little beats good take-away food. The chippy will always provide one of my favourite meals :D

take-away is different from fast-food... take away is made with more love than fast-food, and usually more healthy (eastern take-away are...)

I disagree.

Paying compensation for a battered chicken head in with the nuggets would surely be a very good insentive for mcDonalds to find out what the hell happened and ensure it never happens again. That isn't a just harmless mistake, it's a full scale cock-up.

I agree that it was a cock up on McDonald's part and they should be made to make sure it doesn't happen again, but I hardly think the woman was entitled to 100 grand. I mean, on what grounds did she sue? Assuming she was mentally stable, she can't claim it traumatised her and I hardly think it inconvenienced her, the most she deserved was a complementary packet of nuggets.

Rather, I think McDonald's should have been fined by whatever type of food standards agency they have in the US.

Good point. Although little beats good take-away food. The chippy will always provide one of my favourite meals Don't forget pizza takeaways, like Domino's. I hate McDonalds and the like, but chippies and fast food pizza places are great. :D

We have a new pizza takeaway in our highstreet called 'Herbies'. I don't think I'll be eating there though...

Never actually been to a Wimpy, but they're a british company aren't they? Which puts them above McDonalds in my book.
I very much doubt that wimpy is still owned by an english company.

But that's besides the point. I'd much prefer to eat any of crap mcDonalds serves than even go into a Wimpy Bar. Hell, I'd rather eat a turd than eat their burgers.

THE FOOD IS NOT NICE.

I hate McDonalds and the like, but chippies and fast food pizza places are great. :D
I've yet to experience a chippy that can actually do nice chips. Or fish.

As for dominos and the like, paying a tenner for what boils down to a cheese sandwhich is not my idea of fun. It'd soften the blow somewhat if they didn't use the horrible grease-laden spongey crap pizza bases.

Seriously, whan you can get a decent-enough (i.e. BETTER) frozen pizza from tescos for a quarter of the price I'll never understand why anyone would want to order takeaway pizza, unless they where drunk, or just plain didn't have an oven.

In my opinion The best takeay food you can get is KFC. I know they're probably just as bad as burger king and all, but at least you can identify what you're eating as part of an animal. Unless you get popcorn chicken, but why would anyone do that?

Subway for the win!:)
Boston Pizza gets the 'slow as hell' award.
McDonalds gets the '2 chicken head that I know about (that story and my cousin's boyfriend), and my cousin's BF got food posioning from there the next time!' stupidity certificate.
Enough with McDonalds.
/random

Nobody likes McDonalds here do they? Personally I don't think they're that bad...but then again I don't really have anything to compare them with as that's virtually the only fast-food/takeaway place I've ever been to.

When chickens are processed they get divided into sections, wich are battered individually. So all the wings get done together, all the breasts get done together, etc etc. The heads are disgarded. A head probably got missed by the cutter teams, and was battered along with the pieces. Not really worth $10,000, IMO.

Indeedily. That whole thing is completely ridiculous. Why, it makes me mad!:mad:

I've yet to experience a chippy that can actually do nice chips. Or fish. I suppose that depends on what you like, if you don't like thick, greasy chips you're not going to like a fish'n'chip shop very much. Still, I much prefer them to the thin American style fries at McDonald's. They are usually a bit too soggy though.

I have no problems with their fish or sausages either, but the thing about takeaway is it's cheap and quick and requires no work whatsoever. Although, I'm don't really discriminate between good food or decent food; as long as it's edible and not disgusting I'm just as content, so I'm probably not the best judge.
Still, I know I could have a better meal at home, but Fish and chips is for when you're away from home and hungry, or quite frankly are too knackered to cook but want a hot meal.

Firstly, I for one like thick based pizzas, I find them much tastier than the thin ones you get at real Italian places.
Secondly, I agree frozen pizzas from your local Sainsbury's are just as good (I don't think better), but again, when are you ever going to have takeaway pizza apart from when you're not at home, or are watching a film with some mates and can't be arsed to cook?

Good chippies are rare, but when you find one, they're bloody amazing! There's a Seafare a little way away from me, they've won quite significant awards in the past and their food is amazing. Mostly fairly crisp chips, very few little bitty bits, and lovely crisp tastey battered fish and sausages too. They chippy that's nearest me on the other hand, sucks. Soggy chips and naff fish.

But homemade pizza beats sainsburies and takeaway :)

Well, McDonald's will now probably add a "may contain chicken head" label on the nugget packs...
That isn't a just harmless mistake, it's a full scale cock-up.
Did you realize your pun there? :)

I actually quite like McDonalds...though I only ever have a plain chicken burger :p
And on the topic of chippies, there's one quite near where me dad works which is run by Russian people - BEST FISH EVER! There's none of that keeping it warm nonsense, they get it out the freezer and freshly cook and batter it for you. And my god if it isn't nice!

I actually quite like McDonalds...though I only ever have a plain chicken burger :p"chicken" burger, eh?:p

75.00% fat, 24.90% water 0.09% chicken:p

The Ashvail up here is brilliant. However, they're not exactly a chip shop, more of a restaurant. Still, Scotland's best Fish and Chips for about 10 years running? Not bad at all.

"chicken" burger, eh?:p

75.00% fat, 24.90% water 0.09% chicken:p

So what's the other 0.01%?

It makes me shudder to think about it.

The head was found in a box of chicken nuggets.:p

Arsenic .

I've eaten at Domino's in Treforest a few times, but I've recently discovered a local takeaway that does pizza that's just as nice (I feel), for far, far less. They even seem to get it done quicker. It's amazing. Presumably I'm paying for the brand at Domino's.

Subway are good. Pretty damn expensive, but good. I think it's the appeal of being able to order what I actually want rather that something from a set list. That and the bread is substantial and tasty, always a bit plus in my book.

err.. did i miss something here ?

err.. did i miss something here ?Looks like it.

What was the last thing you remember?

To be honest, I don't really care what goes into it so long as it A: Tastes good, B: Doesn't look horrible, and C: Isn't too bad for me. (I can't imagine having a chicken burger once every few months is going to shorten my lifespan)

No, it'd be mostly chicken, because chicken is nice and cheap and they use it for all their cheap meat products.
We bought some cheap 'pork' hot dogs from Sommerfield's once, according to the list of ingredients it was 10% pork, 59% mechanically recovered chicken. I shudder to think quite which parts of the chicken are 'mechanically recovered', but I'm sure it's not the prime cuts.
From what I gather, that's quite standard practise.

It's mostly feet, head meat, anything they can't make into cuts of meat. It's a shame, because the meat on a pigs head, for example, which is usually made into crappy pork products, can be boiled up into a rather tasty jelly called Brawn. There's more uses for these by-products than you think.

I was in France in August, and in a supermarket they were selling pig head and brain. Didn't look the nicest thing there, I can tell you that :p

We bough microwaveable snails from a supermarket when we were in france. They're a bit rubberery and you could more or less only taste the garlic

I guess I won't be buying the cheap-o sausages from the shop anymore then:rolleyes:

Hey, I've eaten beef mince that comes in pellets, and it didn't do me any harm.

I swear some people eat moose tounges. And hearts.

Wow...a whole new meaning to the phrase "Eat your heart out"

Hearts are perfectly edible, good meat aparently.

French eat brains :p
Moose tongue doesn't sound odd considering we get ox tongue here in the UK.

Do we?

Yep .

Here we have ox tongue too, and even soup of the thing :eek:
btw, Muzer, please change your av, MAD has long past and I keep thinging you're AT :o

You get ox tongue here in Austria too. Doesn't really taste different than other meat made from muscle.

I have never eaten brain, though roasted brain (from calf) with eggs seems to be a standard dish in Viennese cuisine.

. Doesn't really taste different than other meat made from muscle.
As aposed to meat made from marshmallow?

Or organs, or tendons, or fat...?

Hot dogs aren't really all what they say they are.
PIG INTESTINES!!!

Isn't that what all sausage is made out of?

Isn't that what all sausage is made out of?
Yep, the peel of sausages is made of intestine. I have seen some made of plastic though.
These are inedible.

Or organs, or tendons, or fat...?
Organs I'll accept (but I wn't like it!), but Tendons are gristle and Fat is fat.

Hot dogs aren't really all what they say they are.
PIG INTESTINES!!!What do they use in veggie sausages?

What do they use in veggie sausages?Leek intestines.

This is probably the "most-posted-in-welcome-thread" iv'e ever seen :rolleyes:

True, but fat's still edible, organs are what Bonz was thinking of I presume though.

I will, later

Read: I will, when I can be bothered.

So, steamrollers, eh? How about 'em?

i love steamrollers with the big rollers! mhhhh, but Mining Trucks are teh bomb...

Technically I think you'd be allowed to take one on the A3 if it was all properly lisenced with a numberplate and whatnot.

It's the sort of thing which is on my "Things I'd like to do but I know I never will" list. Along with the steam powered Robin Reliant.

...but why steamrollers exactly?

...but why steamrollers exactly?No reason, to be honest. I just felt like changing the topic from mildly suspicious foodstuffs, and it was kinda the first word to enter my head..

I'd love to own a steamroller. Then I could roll over stuff.

Using steam1!!1!!1!!1

w00t!1 w00t!!!1111

I've done it. They're painfully slow. And most no longer use steam, simply vibrations of the roller to compress the ground

Modern rollers are boring; steam rollers have a better whistle.

Boring? It's the crushing part that you should concentrate on, and I think that doesn't get less fun with newer models of rollers.

Just think of all the things you could flatten... Sounds like a cheesy super villian could be born from this... "The world is too bumpy, I am going to flatten it with my army of steamrollers! Muhahahaha"

Modern rollers are boring; steam rollers have a better whistle.I was indeed thinking of the old steam ones.

How do you feel they compare with, say, traction engines?

How do you feel they compare with, say, traction engines?Pretty much on par, steam engines flattern things, but traction engines are the predecessors to tractors. Although I once saw a small catapiler tracked tracton engine and I think that definatly wins over all.

Real steam and traction engines are louder, but the miniture ones are much more fun!

I've usen Steam, it's horribly laggy :rolleyes:

Since when has 'usen' been a word? :p

And one type is over two centuries older than the other.

Since when has 'usen' been a word?
Since the verb "to use" has been changed to inflect by ablaut instead of tense.
That happened around yesterday morning. I also have to get usen to it.

And one type is over two centuries older than the other.
I was expecting that to be wrong but nope, it's right. Full marks for research. ;)

Traction engines are annoying when you get stuck behind them at the local rally like I did last year :mad:

You can run over people in a steam ruler/roller!

You can run over people in a steam ruler!

Maybe, but I would have thought a steam roller would be much easier and lots more fun.

Either ones seems to work!

lol
Why not use a tank? It's better at squashing stuff:)

Why not use a mining truck? :)

too big, and way too slow to run over people.. tanks can fire stuff too :o:rolleyes:

We're talking about running stuff over.

mining trucks can reach quite high speeds withoud any load. And people can not escape the Huge Tires!!11

But in a tank, you could fire something at the person o knock him dows, then run him over :p

Well what about a giant wheel? Never thought of THAT did you?

We're talking about running stuff over.

mining trucks can reach quite high speeds withoud any load. And people can not escape the Huge Tires!!11

I assume you're thinking of a different type of mining truck to me. You don't mean small trucks which carry coal/slate/ore and run on rails do you?

I was expecting that to be wrong but nope, it's right. Full marks for research. I think that steam power might be even older than that actually, but steam locomotives are about 2 centuries old.

Um, hey... Howyadoin?

And trust me, there's more than one off the wall poster around here. I for one, fell off of the stupid post truck while it was going down to the shops. They found me somewhere around the Sega of America building.:p

I hope you have fun around here, and why not try playing around with fanart!

I'd think of the biggest truck.

Ah, tipper trucks.

yep, i was talking about the Liebherr Muldenkipper T282 or something... thats the biggest one :)

I guess they call it Dumptruck, but they also call it mining truck... i dunno.

Dieselengine: 90 l, V20, 3650 hp
Maximum speed: 64 km/h
ohhhhh

Steam power is, that was used back in greek and roman times, but the first steam engine that could move under its own power was developed in the 1700's. Then stopped after it smashed down a wall. :o
