Big Stuff

I don't know why humans (particularly American humans) love taking mundane things and building huge replicas of them. I got to thinking about this after driving by the huge pair of binoculars in Venice, CA (seen below) for the thousandth time and wondering why I always turn to look at them.

So I rounded up a bunch of photos of huge things. Some of these are of questionable quality, due to the fact that they look like vintage vacation photos, but they are all pretty interesting nonetheless. There are literally thousands of these out there -- I skipped a bunch of them, and show here only the ones I thought were the most interesting.

As always, click any photo to see larger size.

That yo-yo is housed in the town where I went to college, and is actually really neat in person. But I like yo-yos. And I'm sure someone has a thing for ginormous trash cans. This is what makes us god's country! ;)

How could you have omitted the monster kielbasa? Classic!

In the game I knew the 2moons dil so I always try my best to earn them more and more to make myself strong. I have never played the game before, at the beginning I did not know what is so I went to kill the monsters with the 2moons gold that I earned with myself in the game. I will duty bound to a friend to help brush the 2moon dil together with my friends. I spend a good relationship is then fly to tears. If my levels are very high, I can go to buy 2moons dil more and more and I will not depend on my friends to help me to earn them. I get some cheap 2moons gold as the gifts to encourage me.

After separate for one year, I can not leave you, leave twelve sky Gold . Now I buy 12sky gold again, I do not want to leave you, but at that time, I have no idea. Buy twelvesky Gold
is the thing I want to do for long time. I know that 12Sky Silver Coins is your life. So I will try my best and do not let you pass away. In my mind, I think I have 12 sky gold is the fate.

These 2 spells will make you pretty much rohan crone invincible with nearly no need for potting. For your PVP you are gonna need to rely on your ability to maximize your Rapid Lock spell and be able to use your rohan gold to Health to mana spell efficiently. They problem for a typical Dekan Sage build is to not supply the rohan online crone needed to sustain these spells. Mana guard is where this build is going to shine and make you pretty much rohan money invincible for 60 seconds which is more than enough time to dispatch most classes in PVP. Rohan is cool so far, much easier than most free games without any rohan online gold that starts spazzes on you.
