Plustech, a subsidiary of tractor maker John Deere, has built a six-legged walking logging machine that just has to be the prototype for an AT-AT walker. Imagine parking this puppy at the mall!"

    That is it, mankind has officaly gone to f*cking far.

    Yee freakin gads folks, this is like something out of a science fiction horror movie, big ass machines going around eating up trees? Well fuuuck, all we need is some slave labourers to be pushing it along rather then using gas and we'd have ourselves a nice dim bleak ass future.

    I repeat.

    fuck

    well, becasue the tree huggers who want to save forests went too damn far, now there are 200% more trees in the forests than there were 150 -200 years ago....IE, 200% more fuel to get those flames up to crown fire tempraturs so we can have more efficent ways of burning millions of acers of forest.

    good job.

    I knew it would happen. Someday big corporations would gain the strength they need to crush the forests. Huge behemoths would walk the forests leaving a swath of destruction with their mechanized chainsaws and huge claws. The stench of diesel fuel would replace the sweets smell of pine.

    I knew...

    Someday they would come to Fern Gulley, and all that could stop them was a 4 inch man and a bunch of HOT pixies.

    ok..don't but I suggest you read most of the popular news and research before you shrug me off.
