Dad was a railroad operator checking consists in the yard when he noticed someone had stolen a 600 pound anvil from the roundhouse.

He said, "If I saw them carrying it off, I don't think I would have tried to stop them."

Eddie Fort Mifflin??? He was a great guitarist.

They didn't steal the cannon. You can't steal from the government. They just borrowed it, like a library book.

 

[imgone]

Maybe they just borrowed it so they could get their cannon license.

Let's see ...

300lbs cannon.
The average Pyramid block weights roughly 5K lbs.

Let's assume 2 people moved the 300lbs cannon.
That means roughly 32 people were needed for a Pyramid block.

The Pyramids were impossible to build, therefore ALIENS.

Conclusion - Aliens stole the cannon.

It says "REPLICA". If its non functional, then 300lbs of scrap iron aint worth shit.......

Replica as in safe for signaling not for projectiles. It's a fancy thunder mug.

What’s the scrap iron to meth exchange rate?

 

[BTSDOG]

What’s the scrap iron to meth exchange rate?

At todays rate of .04 /lb. 300 lbs = 12.00.......whats the going rate for meth these days ??

 

[Chris]

Probably taken by some triggered anti-gunner.

A good number of them probably weigh more than the cannon.

I used to walk past a pile of 200-300 year old cannon barrels, every single day going to work, clearly no alarms, cameras, etc. So tempting... So tempting...

All I would have needed is to build the wooden carriage.

Lifting the blocks would have been hard, but pushing them on rollers is easy. The pyramids were built entirely at ground level. As they slid the blocks into place, the surrounding area was filled with sand, creating a literal mountain by the time they placed the highest layer of blocks. Then they dug out the completed pyramid from the sand mountain.

It was kind of genius, actually.

If I am going to steal a cannon,I am going to go after something with history.
