Definatley no sex.. but DAMN is that thing real?!
Yes it's big, and yes it's real, and yes those images seem to take a round now and then in pretty much every board on the net. :smile:
The word 'SEX' is nowhere in the page source, and there's no ads, so it's strange that you were blocked.

But doesn't the bucket wheel rotate the wrong way on the last one?

I saw a programme about large machines and that was on it.
Those pics aren't from it actually doing its job, but from when they were driving it from one site to the next.
It was a massive logistical excercise in itself which took months of planning and required that dirt road being purpose built for it.
I think they had to move some powerlines too.
The thing took days to get to where it was going - a few miles away!

Lol me too! exactly the same. thank god they're on a slow server, only had time to load the top of a very trashy looking girl and i promptly closed the window!
hmm, it looks like it was trimmed, but this machine has been discussed before. hehe.

So... does this mean you can't read this BBC report on the minimum wage?hey69 said:
These are digging up and processing "brown coal", which can be found at just about surface level in some parts of Germany. "Real" coal is somewhere between 500m and 3km below ground in Germany, so this is much cheaper.
Here's more about one of the machines. Highly recommended reading if you can get it translated.
And this is what you end up with after the work is done (click on the picture). That's one of the reasons why this sort of energy production has always been controversial.
