Look what I found on APOD.
These guys normally focus on, well, astronomy. But occasionally, they showcase beauties like this. What a whopper! Lookit! How huge is that?? I'd LOVE to have one of these for my birhday :)
Oh wait, Christmas is just around the corner....
UPDATE.
Mad over at Mad Haiku asked what this was.
Its a bucket wheel excavator and is, apparently, the largest one on the planet. Surf through the APOD links and you'll find yourself here, where there are more exhilarating pictures of this behemoth. Fantastic!

Neat! What is it?
It a face miner. The wheel on the front strips coal (or whatever you want to mine) and dumps it into the conveyors behind it. It's probably 400 feet tall.
hey Mad,
I have posted additional links with more pics. Too cool not too post! :)
Og,
You're a veritable font of knowledge, sir.
Totally freaking awesome! Must be some garage they park it in at night, too...
Winston,
I'm sorry, but I'll take this monstrosity over the much-oogled sports car any day. lol.
