I got your witty quote *right here* buddy

Lois: You're drunk again. Peter: No, I'm just exhausted 'cause I've been up all night drinking. 		Looking for something?

    Man goes on rampage in his homemade tank

    I'm torn, do I post "News of the odd" style stories here on randomdrivel.com or over at myspinzone? Well, at any rate, this one is going right here.

    Some crazy guy went on a rampage with a homemade tank, an armored bulldozer really. He demolished buildings in the small town of Granby, Colorado. When he was done, he shot himself. All in all, a busy day for this guy.

    Not to be confused with the classic angry small town tank driving man movie "TANK", starring James Garner.
    He was armed with a .50-caliber weapon but appeared to be deliberately avoiding injuring anyone during the rampage, which began on Friday afternoon. No other injuries were reported, Grand County Emergency Management Director Jim Holaham said.

    Heemeyer, who lost two bitter battles with town officials, ploughed the armour-plated bulldozer into the town hall, a former mayor's home and at least five other buildings before the machine ground to a halt in the wreckage of a warehouse.

    City officials said he was angry over a zoning dispute and fines from city code violations at his business.

    Authorities detonated three explosions and fired at least 200 rounds against the heavy steel plates welded to the bulldozer. The first two detonations failed; the results of the third were not immediately known.

    Trainor said the dozer's armour plates consisted of two sheets of 1cm steel with a layer of concrete between them.

    Residents of this mountain tourist town of 2 200, about 80km west of Denver, described a bizarre scene as the bulldozer slowly crashed through buildings, trees and lampposts, with dozens of officers walking ahead or behind it, firing into the machine and shouting at townspeople to flee.

    I can understand his upset .. Zoning in my town has made similarly upsetting decisions affecting many local citizens, tho none have taken their distress this far...

    Gotta love the world of small town politics.
