 150 gallon... Kinda small for a lakester isn't it? $750.00 bucks is a lot.... I didn't see any gold on it in the pictures.

Funny stuff, but I'll bet he meant exothermic! :-D
With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly overhead. -- RFC 1925

When I sold my truck a little while back I seriously had to restrain myself, just in case I irritated someone who was potentially homicidal. Some of the questions and offers I got were genuinely comical but it was obvious that they weren't meant to be funny.....after getting my head punched in an uncountable number of times during my school days I learnt not to take the p out of people who don't know what you're talking about,or at least to save it for later :roll:

You could use that tank to make something like this, which is what I did.



ps.Buddy I think that guy was implying "when hell freezes over"

That was my take also-that's why I corrected it for him! :-D
