Mental Meanderings of a Soul in Progress

No, not the action figure, the actual thing. Anybody know where I can get one? :-)

There were some experimental devices like this one. They were intended to replace fork lifts and other equipment for moving heavy objects and perfoming repetitive tasks (like stacking large cut stone blocks). I have not seen a real one in years, so I don't know if they're still out there. Japan maybe? I suspect that the hydraulic systems were too complicated to keep economically in repair. If I were to get my hands on one, I might be tempted to tip a few motor vehicles. Specific owners of course. I guess it's just as well.

I'm afraid to ask...?

Wow, I would use that on a few neighbors' houses!
