It is owned by idiots.

Same thing happened to the cable drum.

How do you find your way to work each day?

"How do you find your way to work each day?"

By riding on the back of a rampaging unicorn, of course......

You seem to break a lot of stuff. You never give any info or reply to those who answer you.

I suggest you move to an unpopulated area, move into a cave, eat wild berries and then maybe you'll stop breaking everything you work on touch.

I used to keep a list of the most ridiculous, idiotic, juvenile posters who came here to waste our time.

I have a new candidate for the #1 dumb poster award. Can you guess who that might be and what the probable cause is?

hmmmmm, this is a tough one..... I'll say fillet 76 and the reason being "Dear all, I broke my stuff, what could have caused this?"

Was I right? Did I win a prize? Or was the correct answer Del The Cat for "My bow exploded, what caused it" thread? (Just kidding Del, love your posts)

Don't make me say it.

Rocks have enough smarts to just lay there and keep quiet.

Some posters just aren't that smart. They even come back and prove it.

I have to go do something constructive for awhile.

Asteroids don't lay there and keep quiet, and they are still rocks. It's a trick question! Not fair.

My good man!

You may very well hear from the ASPCA*.

As you can see here, "Thus the term asteroid has come increasingly to refer specifically to the small bodies of the inner Solar System out to the orbit of Jupiter"

From Asteroid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

To call an asteroid a,a,,,a mere rock is the lowest for of insult to the lofty, space bound asteroid.

What do you call an asteroid that hits the earth? Hemorrhoid?

That won't work. He will poke his eye out with stick just before he breaks the stick.

He'll poke his eye out with a stick while stooping over to nibble on berries, never thinking to use his hands to gather them first.

Wait, how would he know what berries are?

Dear All,

There is a stick in my eye and clear fluid is leaking out, also a blue berry is stuck in my nose, what is possible cause for this.

Maybe, because he works for people who never heard of us, and HE did hear of us, THEY think he's a fix-it-all genius. Stupid people he works for, if that's the case. But this is a case of "Now, WHY do we answer his questions, again?"

No unicorns here. We use LynDoor™Industries Unicorn-B-Gone spray and spikes.

Oddly enough it must work on elephants, too. Never seen one of those around here either.

OK, it's a choice between this, cutting the grass or cleaning out my sock drawer. So far, this is more fun.

There are also no children running through the house trying to kill each other, right now.

Think I'll enjoy the quiet here at the keyboard for awhile.

Odd. TCMTech industries just picked up a multi dollar contract to produce GMO elephants and unicorns that are to be 100% spike as spray repellent resistant by 2014.

We will also be launching the hybrid series of Elicorns and Uniphants some time later once we get the spontaneous combustion/explosion gene coding issue under better control.

Until then please continue to use our flying pigs as a substitute.

Please hurry that along.

I've just gotten an order for 10,000 Uniphant horns from a Southeast Asian distributor, and may also need a couple hundred gallons of Elicorn bile for the same customer.

While you're at it, can you put more horns on a single animal than just one.

Maybe something like this: Only bigger?

Yes we can but you will need some level of radiation shielding when handling them.

The last multi horned flying uniphant when supercritical while over russia a while back and blew out windows for miles around so be prepared.

I too have been working GMO with unicorns and cattle..

I can't seem to get it right. I need to rehome them now. They are carnivorous and semi-aquatic (love swimming Pools), I think I'll let them go in Arizona.

Re: Zoonlion Truck mounted concrete pump 5th boom damaged

08/10/2013 11:23 AM

Here is the O.P. in a nutshell :

Dear All,

I broke, bent, or screwed up all of the following, a cable drum, 5th boom of zoomlion truck mounted concrete pump, Cincinnati-1250 CNC machine module, Terex RT-665 top boom bending, crack in twin screw extruder machine, air end male/female rotor wear & tear, alternator stator winding burnt, reverse power in gas and diesel genset, main circiut breaker got faulty, camshaft failure OR damaged camshaft, 60 kVA, Himoinsa D/G genset failure, and a cranshaft of JGS-320.

Why did this happen? I also need to Convert 1.5 Million K Cal to Litres.

Exactly what field of work is this guy in? Construction, manufacturing, power generation???????

Tell the driver to put the boom down before driving under the bridge. Seriously what's the next question, nobody takes me seriously, what is the cause?

I found a picture of the incident, once again he has the type of damage and vehicle type incorrect!!

I would say.... OPERATOR ERROR!!!

Re: Zoonlion Truck Mounted Concrete Pump 5th Boom Damaged

After careful review of all the data, photographs, accident reconstruction team, review of the infrared longitudinal reflection off the mirrors, compressed pressures of the rubber mass balancers (only those of pressurized proportions), vertical reproducible integral factors of the 10th derivative, mass spectranomic beam of inclination modulus of expansion, modulus of compression, adhesion of the enclosed flexible mass, rotational capabilities of the interconnecting joints on the mass transfer system, pH, rH and bS congeaiability of the lubricants with comparability properties of API standard # AHQ 19640-B, compliance with NFPA standard #901, section 7, paragraph #2, sentence 8, for tenders and not tankers, measurement of the standards vs. actual dynamic rotational speeds of the volute and the compound impeller, misalignment of the proportional mass torque transfer unit and circumference there of and of course the instantaneous relative compression of the included gasses with relationship to the quadrant vs. compressibility of similar gasses minus the element with weight of 16 and lastly the inclusion of possible gasses with spectranomic values in excess of a wave length of 0.2214159 milli-microns having operational torques equivalent to 0.00098 ft-lbs can this be solved.

It would be recommended that an Experimental Experiment be performed with the inclusion of Ethyl Alcohol for the lubrication of testers and all support personnel. For these tests it is recommended that Sam Adams, Bud Budweiser, Rocky Coors, and Butch Ballantine be utilized for the administration of these testing aspects. They are best if kept at a temp of 38-40 deg F.

If necessary the adjacent 4th and 6th booms can be examined in the same manner. Please forward your Purchase Order, in triplicate, to Experimental Experiment Operations Committee, Main Street, Waynesburg, Ohio.

Thank you kindly for your immanent acceptance of this validation testing.

Thank you

Good Luck, Old Salt

I prefer Pliny the Elder for tests like this, or maybe Lagunitas IPA or Little Sumpin. at 8 to 9.5 % ethanol they'll lube up the testers faster.

Pliny the Elder and Little Sumpin at any compound rations of Cologne Spirits (it has a much more rapid inclusion to the red cells) are Ok. No, No, No to Lagunitas IPA. IPA ( sec-propyl alcohol) is fine for the dermatological applications, but have you ever tasted the stuff? It is real rot gut stuff! Man, it tastes as bad as my mother-in-laws cookin'!

Primary reason, besides the taste is that it takes longer to get a buzz from it than from the associated Methanol and Ethanol. As we all know Methanol is a silent killer, just like a hand gun with a silencer (no offense intended gun lovers) therefore it must be eliminated as a suitable substitute. Ethanol is an temporary killer, if acetylsalicylic acid is available for rapid ingestion its effects are lessened. This is acceptable if administered in a oral manner.

The toxicity of IPA (for those doctorial chemists) is:

Around 15 g of isopropyl alcohol can have a toxic effect on a 70 kg human if left untreated.[16] However, it is not nearly as toxic as methanol or ethylene glycol. Isopropyl alcohol does not cause an anion gap acidosis (in which a lowered blood serum pH causes depletion of bicarbonate anion) unlike ethanol and methanol. Isopropyl alcohol does however, produce an osmolal gap between the calculated and measured osmolalities of serum, as do the other alcohols. Overdoses may cause a fruity odor on the breath as a result of its metabolism to acetone, which is further metabolized to produce the nutrients acetate and glucose.[17] Isopropyl alcohol is oxidized to form acetone by alcohol dehydrogenase in the liver.

Now everyone on CR4 knows what a osmolal gap is so that it won't be expanded upon exponentially.

As a substitute for Lagunitas IPA perhaps a suitable substitute could be a rather smooth Kentuckian by the name of Jim Beam. He might be able to bring along a Wild Turkey for everyone to taste a bite of it. Perhaps he might even bring his Colt 45 to demonstrate its formidable forward mass propulsion torque ratings. Transportation on a Cutty Sark could probably be arranged from the Canadian Club.

Please forward your preferences by Priority E-mail.

Looking forward to you communication,

Good Luck, Old Salt
