You have to wonder what goes through people's heads sometimes. This dude apparently got made at some zoning rules in his little town, so he built an ARMORED FRICKING BULLDOZER complete with MOUNTED RIFLES and STEEL PLATES to "protest".... CNN (http://www.cnn.com/2004/US/Central/06/05/bulldozer.rampage/index.html) has the story.. My favorite quote?

The first two explosive devices were "completely ineffective" at penetrating the armored bulldozer, Dailey said.

"The machine had a half-inch steel plate with a layer of concrete, and another steel plate," he said. "On the front of the machine, there were two rifles mounted where he could shoot straight ahead."

At the height of the rampage, the bulldozer demolished or heavily damaged a concrete batch plant, the town hall, a bank, a library and the local newspaper offices.

Whoa... Somebody played too many video games, I think... :eek3:

Several months from now the US Army will have a new version of the tank based off this guy's home invention.

Perhaps the question is: Why wasn't he thinking?
