what kind of a name is wally wallington????
haha

aside from that this seems fairly feasible.
it's makes sense how he got the blocks on end to stand straight but how did he get the one block on top of the two??

maybe he set it up first and just put the ones on end to fall directly below it ... or something like that??

this is good stuff.

naw that would'nt have worked because it wasn't level... the posts were in the ground.. not resting on it.. so i guess if they wanted to do that, they'd have to pour a concrete slab down like 3 feet underground so put the pebble on... which i guess they could have done (could they lay any kind of concrete??)

Oh dude, Chuck Norris could kick Vin Diesel's *** seven ways from sunday before breakfast, they're not in the same league, they're not in the same ballpark, they're not even in the same ****in' sport

.. as for the original topic, he's definitely got some clever ideas, but I don't know that they would have bothered with anything so elegant when they just had a bunch of guys standing idle, brute force works pretty well too

How do you really feel, don't hold back. Just let it out. Think calm happy thoughts...

Perhaps you are naive of the sheer awsomness that is Chuck Norris. Here is some reading material for you.

Chuck Norris once tried to defeat Jackie Chan in a game of chess. When Norris lost, he won in life by roundhouse kicking Chan in the side of the face.

Chuck Norris does not eat hamburgers. Instead, he devours cows slammed between two slabs of granite.

Chuck Norris' nickname in the late 1800's was "Polio".

Evel Knievel's motive behind all his stunts was to impress Chuck Norris.

Chuck Norris once bowled a 400 game.

Everyone uses Google to find out facts about anything and everything. Google uses Chuck Norris.

A boy once bought a Chuck Norris action figure and put it in his room. The boy went outside for a minute or two, and when he came back, all of his GI Joes, Stretch Armstongs, and his sister's Barbies had their heads and limbs broken off.
