Ya gotta check out ">Snopes. It's not all true...

Sorry, Ted. Here's the link without all the fancy-shmancy HTML stuff to foul up.

Hey! snopesdotcom is filtered as "questionable content!"

Thanks for that link! It's still funny that the first bit is true, and the story included is a hoot!

That 11th pic is photoshoped or something.This was passed around all of the trucker and model truck groups I belong to on Yahoo.That last pic was never in there.It's still pretty wild though.
If you like that you'll love the pics I have of the tug rolling under the bridge.I'll try to get them to ya if I can find them.

I think I saw the tug pics listed on Snopes Russ.

yeah, the tug pics are listed on Snopes, but IIRC they're verified as *true*

Snopes is my best friend, right behind Nic and my rats.

Ah. Yeah, as soon as I took a second look at that last picture, I realised it was "off". But I didn't spot it the first time.
