Laz.e.rus November 30, 2006 Share Laz.e.rus Member November 30, 2006 isnt duke a lawyer? How much did a client pay you to do their paper work while you were netting train storys? Better yet, is this a graduation to train crash-chasing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScubaDan November 30, 2006 Share ScubaDan Member November 30, 2006 Duke's a pill-popper pill-pusher pharmacist. The question is whose prescription was he filling? Will Mags will be getting estrogen instead of viagra this month? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDuke November 30, 2006 Author Share MrDuke Member November 30, 2006 He's whiny and crabby enough without the extra estrogen. Cripe, last night on the server he was whining about how bloated he felt. All we kept hearing is, "Does this armor make me look fat??" "Does my butt jiggle as I run to B??"

Fatty December 1, 2006 Share Fatty GC Founder December 1, 2006 Um, I'm thinking no..... derailings commonly occur when trains come off the tracks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kruten December 1, 2006 Share Kruten Member December 1, 2006 I don't think a little coin made out of zinc it going to cause several tons to become unbalanced and run off the tracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shep48 December 1, 2006 Share shep48 Member December 1, 2006 common causes.. not enough track maintenace, or human error while operating a penny will not derail the train, a truck of pennys will prbly not derail the train. several tons is a huge under statement. 1 locomotive weighs 400,000 lbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadowDog December 6, 2006 Share ShadowDog Member December 6, 2006 Pennies are copper... but i bet if you lined the entire trank with pennies and then put about 1 billion pennies infront of that train.. IT WILL DERAIL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EbilDustBunny December 6, 2006 Share EbilDustBunny GC Alumni December 6, 2006 how about lining up a million pennies on the rail? (not stacked) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowDog December 6, 2006 Share ShadowDog Member December 6, 2006 it'll make the rail copper =p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VooDooPC December 6, 2006 Share VooDooPC Member December 6, 2006 Maybe if you run out and welded a little ramp to the rail it might make a train derail. Pennies used to be made of copper, but the price of copper went up in the 40's and now they are zinc and only copper plated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
