Excavator Mulcher Eats Trees - Neatorama

We had a couple of big pine trees cut down about four years ago and still have a few logs laying around the yard -they’re too hard to chop and too heavy to haul. Pine doesn’t make good firewood, either. Knowing all that make this forest mulcher all the more impressive. This thing shreds heavy wood like office paper, from the top down. What took nature decades to grow is reduced to sawdust in a matter of minutes. Don’t get anywhere near it -it could shred you even faster! -via the Presurfer

If you put that grinder in the front, you get this: forestry mower (like the name says, it "mows down" trees like grass!)

My mother had this sort of thing on the cover of a Science Fiction pulp from the 50s. How neat that it has come to life.

I unloaded 40,000 bricks by hand once. No tangible fingerprints for a fortnight or so, but interestingly I did still leave a print from the sebaceous glands which were still there and while follow the patterns of the (missing) prints.

Man, going into the US you have to give everything but a urine test. this guy shouldn't have had to give his fingerprints in the first place.

All people coming in should not be guilty til proven innocent. I feel like this is such a violation of rights.

I remember there's a Dilbert comic where Wally's anscestors bred so that they would produce offspring with no biometric evidence like fingerprints.

Wow, everyone has to undergo through this in US?

On a blog (like it is here), this is interesting. When it's reported all over the major news channels (like it has been the past week or so), one starts to wonder how such a near-inconsequential story gets picked up.

This happened to Mother last year when we were flying in to Newark. She had just finished treatment for breast cancer and her fingerprints didn't match up to homeland security records. She was detained for several hours, but was eventually allowed to proceed after one of the officers on duty said his wife had had the same thing happen to her

When I used to climb 5 days a week, I lost my fingerprints altogether. I always thought it would've been a good time to commit some crime. (Of course, I guess I could just wear gloves for the same effect.)

I hope they don't do this to citizens of the US. I work with a law enforcement agency and I do not take this drug, but I do not have fingerprints. They can get 2 or 3 partials with the laser fingerprint machines, but they don't get even that much with ink. It is a natural condition.
