Improved tactical wheelbarrow!

[Spyvie]

Chinese counter terrorist teams got the right idea... 'cause there ain't no slack in a fast attack!

These are already in place in Beijing. They are built specifically to deal with potential dangers during the Olympics.

The Olympics of 2008 are the pride of my country and pride of our people! TO HELL with anyone who attempts, or even thinks about disrupting the Games. That is why we have special tactical operations on standby and ready to roll.

Yeah, you never know when unarmed Tibetan women may need to be executed.

[Cougfan2]

Hell, I thought I was looking at part of Gecko45's rapid response team. Who's got the extra trauma plates.

[Rachen]

Yeah, you never know when unarmed Tibetan women may need to be executed.

There are TWO more pictures that go with that one.

It shows the woman wearing a placard: "First Degree Murder". For strangling her husband in his sleep because she thought he was flirting with someone else. Turns out her suspicions were untrue, but the deed was already done, so, you know what happens next. Justice must be swift.

[Rachen]

Perhaps not hell, but quite possibly the organ harvestnig room of the nearest chinese prison. And sold to the highest bidder!

Seriously, I have no problems at all with the method of harvesting organs from executed violent criminals.

Many convicted murderers regret their murders. Well, here is a chance for them to repent their sin, by saving the life of a deathly ill person elsewhere. It works well.

[Deer Hunter]

My god.

Segways? Really?

This is the olympics, a competition of strength, speed, and skill.

And the cops are on Segways?

Am I the only one who sees the ironic hilarity?

Them fellers look like kids playin cops and robbers on their scooters lol

What constitutes a violent crime in a communist society?

Same thing as in ANY society. And besides, China isn't communist like it was for the first part of the 1960s. We were only communist for a while because it enabled us to distribute more efficiently for the impoverished, war torn nation. It is the only way to repair a country who had seen 100 years of vicious bloodshedding.

Wheelbarrel?

I fixed the title for you.

[TexasRifleman]

I tell ya, joking aside, those little things are quite cool. Very maneuverable, fast, and stable.

It's not a bad idea at all.

I played golf recently at a course that offered these as an option for the cart and I tried one. Off road tires even, I took it over some pretty nasty terrain and I'd never been on one before. They are pretty amazing machines.

I wonder how much they cost though.

Thanks!

I wasn't sure, I actually googled wheel barrel and wheelbarrel and got hits for both...

[TexasRifleman]

The golf cart version with off road tires is about $6000 US. Pretty steep at this point.

Standard versions like shown here are $4500 and up.

Either:

Wheelbarrow, which is indeed the correct form, means 'a frame or box for carrying a load, supported by a wheel at one end and pushed by a handle at the other'. The word has been in the English language since the fourteenth century. It is formed from wheel, of course, and barrow, a descendant of the Old English word bearwe, which referred to a similar, hand-held device for carrying loads. This Old English word is related to our word bear in the sense 'to carry'.

The form wheelbarrel is an example of a folk etymology. A folk etymology is a modification of a word to associate it with a more common or easily understood word. For example, the word bridegroom was originally something like bridegome, the second element being the Old English word for 'man'. When "gome" fell out of use, "bridegome" was changed to "bridegroom" on the analogy of the common and familiar word "groom," which is at least a plausible substitute.

Besides, Chairman Mao HAD TO starve a few million people to death..it was the only way to save "the people" from starvation!

I believe in the Communist ethic...The people do not know what is best for them, therefor we must force the people to be happy!

Tienanmen Square comes to mind. Hey, come to think of it we had one of those incidents at Waco too! You know, come to think of it, the Communist Party was in power at both of those times! The Chinese Communists even helped Billy Boy by financing his campaign for re-election.

You see how much we all have in common?

Wow. Thats close to an Armalite AR-50 single shot.

Ever since those pesky rising gas prices, I found myself leaving my car behind more and more often and commuting to school and work on motorbike. Which is essentially, a regular mountain bike outfitted with rear motor. About 500 dollars total, did the modifications and installing all by hand.

[Rachen]

No we never did that. Billy Boy even bombed our embassy in Serbia. He was always looking for a reason to start a war with us. Most Americans don't like him. Neither do mainland Chinese. Billy Boy was the only US president that we paraded his pictures in Beijing denouncing him as Hitler and even made caricatures of him with the Hitler beard and wearing the Nazi uniform, right after the embassy bombing.

No. No way in Hell we would even THINK about funding such a person.

[Cmdr. Gravez0r]

Billy Boy? Are we talking about the same person, viz. William Jefferson Clinton? Hitler? Not that bad...

[CWL]

My god.

Segways? Really?

Why not? They're manufactured there. Also makes great product endorsement "official 2-wheeler of the Beijing Olympics!"

[scrat]

Yeah, you never know when unarmed Tibetan women may need to be executed.

That is so friggen sad. Dont know what to say. it just pisses me off to see stuff like that. if i ever came across that. Nobody derserves that no one. Especially a woman like that.

god rest her soul

[Cmdr. Gravez0r]

Read what the man said in reply instead of frantically posting.

[Rachen]

Scrat, she was not an "unarmed Tibetan woman" at all.

There were TWO more pictures that go with that one. However, our friend Jorg decided it was in his best interest to forget the other ones, and spin a tale based just on one of them, the one that you see.

The other pictures shows the woman wearing a placard: "First Degree Murder". For strangling her husband in his sleep because she thought he was flirting with someone else. Turns out her suspicions were untrue, but the deed was already done. The case was widely known in the Northeast community where this incident took place. Her husband was a well respected community activist. No one would expect him to cheat on her, and no one had the evidence to say so. Even his children can attest that he was with the family all the time. However, this man's wife committed murder, and justice was swift on her.
