I couldn't open the ppt file ext. from the first link.
But OMG the deer! This close to Christmas, all I could think of was that Santa took a big wrong turn! The poor thing, but I'm sure it didn't suffer.
 
That first one is amazing! Will have to show it the boys at work. :smile:
 
Looks like a giant Earth killing machine! And we fear a invasion from another planet?
 
So Brewski, will your next assignment be to make the dozers scoop-proof?

Considering that he was hit hard enough to land him on atop power pole, I wouldn't worry too much. :biggrin:

Too bad he didn't have the courtesy to land on the wires in such a way as to cook himself. The lineman could have had a nice dinner on the job.

hahaha yah we could just build a few of these and have a big sign over them going "Bring it on...". Poor caterpillar... i can't believe that building ate it...

How did that thing cross the road? Looks like it would just tear up anything below it...
