So I have RCN as my cable provider and recently when I threatened to leave the service they hooked me up with all the movie channels and all of those other random channels that no one really cares about 100-150ish.

As I have been browsing online I have the TV on and as I was going through the guide, sighing at the crap listings, I came across a show called "Build it Bigger".

I turned it on and its all about the U.S. Army's M-1 Abrams tank. Surprisingly interesting.

They weigh as much as 12 elephants, get about 1/2 a mile per gallon, are waterproof, can turn their turret 7.5 times in a minute, and can go about 40 miles per hour.

Yep, no one can kill more evil-doers per hour than an American behind the wheel of an Abrams tank.

It's my favorite drive-by machine.

And if you fire the cannon backwards when you are driving, it makes you go faster.

I would use that tactic in the game Body Harvest to get up steep hills. *cough*

The Abrams tank is pretty cool, I can't wait to see what are next replacement for it will be. It's been a while...

Personally, though, I like the Israeli Merkava.
