Am I going to get a visit from the FBI if I say that that is one ugly fucking tree?

You, in the pizza delivery truck! Put the pizza down, get that spotlight out of our eyes and step out of the truck with your pants up! :eek:

Nay, nay, it's a beautiful tree! Unfortunately they covered it with a lot of ugly crap. :eek:

And cut off its trunk to hide its massive support structure too, I guess. It looks like it fell in a sinkhole. :(

Is it the picture or is the tree leaning badly to the right? Looks like it's gonna tip over. That would be a damn shame....

Everything else in the picture appears to be leaning to the right in the same way (fence posts etc) so the pic isn't level.

It's cropped out of a picture taken with a fish eye lens. ;)

Oh...Skycranes don't really suck. They're made by Sikorsky ;)

If the cable breaks it's all over. :eek:

I just came across a video of a similar situation. Helicopter tows a stalled pleasure boat. Pilot not as skilled as the one in the picture above.

I think it was more of a comment about how it is stealing their bandwidth. Bruce has a good point.

So let me link to the home page.http://www.micom.net/oops/
