Excavator tickles the tiger's tail!


I just had to put this in, because it is sooo neat! Imagine that this tiny little thing is going to start chewing away at the business-end of a giant ice jam that's flooding some town in BC. I visualize it as excavating the bottom of an avalanche zone, or cutting out the toe of a slope! At the same time, they are going to pour hot water at the top! But they have to construct a special pipeline, which seems a bit much. I shall follow this story with baited breath!

  1. Is this at all related to;

    "For God's Sake, don't cut out the toe of your slope!"

  2. Yes! Don't pee into the wind.

    Don't stand on the wrong side of the falling tree.

    Don't piss on an electric fence.

    All those things!
