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

5 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.

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

7 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.

8 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.
