I'd love to know how this thing gets the torque required to efficiently mash those engine blocks. The only thing I could think of is a hydraulic rack and pinion setup.


You are correct about hydraulics... hydraulic pump powered by really BIG 3-phase motors. Some of these monstrosities can consume up to 200kW (!!!) and are serious business.

What do they use to shred the engine block shredders?

Jazz shredders. Lovely!

It was really weird seeing the g-rated cartoon, especially since they kept their weapons (at first).

I owned a couple of the original comics as a kid. It was a violent comic for its time (I ate it up for all the wrong reasons).

There was a brilliant return to the original continuity a few years ago, art and writing by Eastman and Laird, picking up shortly after the death of shredder (killed by Leonardo back in issue 17 or so), with the turtles, Casey Jones, April, and Shredder going their separate ways and trying to find a purpose (e.g. killing shredder left a small army of foot ninja's, and the turtles weren't sure if they should hunt them all down or what). It gave me a second chance to appreciate their story telling beyond "cool, he shoved his broken staff into that guys head!".

Shredder stole the show.

You are weird.

(take it to the bank)

Is it weird that I always identified with the "dissenter"? I thought Eric was funny in these clips. My favorite Ninja Turtle was Raphael and I thought Shredder was awesome.

And leave us not forget that the reason it costs these companies so much money to make even a single drug is - that's right! - GOVERNMENT. The FDA regulations & requirements for drug companies are ridiculous. Yes you want drugs to be safe and tested. But the process today is so labrynthine and difficult that it is almost impossible to get a drug out of testing without around 20 YEARS (!!!) of testing. As a guy who works as a statistician for clinical tests, I can tell you that even small tests are not cheap. Every drug that goes through the FDA chipper/shredder must have literally dozens of large scale longitudinal tests performed. And if the results don't satisfy even ONE of those bazillions of FDA rules then back to the lab you go to start all over again.
You want to know why drugs are so expensive in America? It isn't because "Big Pharm" is trying to rape you. It is because they are trying desperately to recover from the raping they got from government. You want to drop drug prices by 50 to 75% in a day? Abolish the FDA.


Statistician on clinical trials? You've just admitted to being a professional liar. Also, you've just admitted to the source of all your bias.

All your bias are belong to us!

gold 100 star! Congrats! I will clean out my paper shredder in your honor!

It's like having sex without a condom... with a meat shredder.

Your video, the original shredder - Les Paul and Mary Ford, has made it into your personal Highest Rated Videos listing. Congratulations on a job well done. For you contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

When I'm done with it, it's like its gone through a shredder.

Loved it!!!

The reporter was a big fan of Saddam. Now he's a hero to the left.
Try that under Saddam...you'd end up in a plastic shredder.


Instead, under Bush's puppets, he only got beaten so badly that nobody was allowed to see him for weeks.

Ain't you progressive.

Turns out the shoe was taken down one day after it was erected.

Ah, Freedom. How do you like it, Iraq?
