What we have here is the most awesome machine ever created.

I found it when I was trolling for Demotivational Posters, of which my hard drive is already filled. For those who don’t know, the basic idea is to find a funny/cool/hot picture and put a snarky or otherwise humorous comment bellow – put a black border around it all and you have yourself a Demotivational Poster. They’re pretty sweet.
Anyways, the giant-ass saw thing. I was disheartened to learn that the saw is not in fact a saw, but a 70-foot diameter wheel with 20 buckets that hold 530 cubic feet of material. To give that some perspective, a new Jeep Grand Cherokee can hold about 70 cubic feet of junk with the seats folded down. So those buckets are the size of cars.
The beast weighs over 45,500 tons and stands 311 feet tall and 705 feet long. The top speed? 1/3 MPH (hahaha!). Gotta wonder what the gas mileage is on it, although I doubt anyone else cares.
It cost $100 million to make, and all it does is move earth. It’s the most badass Tonka truck around.

I’m still gonna call it the giant-ass saw thing though. Beast.
