Build Your Own Sherman Tank
absolut.evil writes "OK, so admittedly it is only 1/5th scale, but still pretty cool.. especially if you're a kid. The thing comes complete with working suspension, meticulously built wooden tank treads and X-Arcade controls. Check out the pics and construction timeline."
This reminds me of a great quote "we like war. we're a warlike people. we like war because we're good at it. you know why we're good at it? cause we get a lot of practice. this country is only 200 years old and already we've had 10 major wars. we average a major war every 20 years in this country, so we're good at it. and it's a good thing we are, we're not good at anything else anymore. can't build a decent car, cant make a tv set or a vcr worth a f*ck, got no steel industry left can't educate our young people, cant get health care for our old people, but we bomb the sh*t out of your country alright... especially if your country is full of brown people... oh we like that don't we, thats our hobby... thats our new job in the world... bombing brown people... can you remember the last white people... can you remember ANY white people we've ever bombed? the germans, they're the only ones... and thats because they were trying to cut in on our action... they wanted to take over the world... bullsh*t... thats our job!" -George Carlin
