EDIT: nevermind already been posted. I'm hoping the new nuke battery could be in CMOS format. The extra radiation will make you game better.

Totally missed the chance to mount a lion head to the machine. If they are going to make a mechanical mount that you can ride, at least make it resemble a wolf or lion. Doesn't seem like April Fools because the Kawasaki page is dated April 3rd and it's showing off at Osaka-Kansai Expo. The expo opens on April 25th so there may be more info coming out.

Do you want a KC-10 refueling plane? There are 10 for sales by US government but all of them are missing 1 of 3 engines (tri-jet) without the refueling boom. They are listed as non-flying condition so who really need one?
The other issue(s) (besides the missing engines) if a person wanted to buy one for flying purposes is that military aircraft modifications/installations are typically not certified for civilian airframes, nor would the parts necessarily have the documentation/certs to be re-used on a civilian passenger aircraft.
These are probably being auctioned off as scrap.

well, it is China where they like to attempt crazy building projects and if they can break records while at it, all the better. a lot of corner cutting still happens, but the gov is coming down harder on those that do if / when something fails. quite interesting!

*cough* that government building under construction in Thailand that fell down during an earthquake that was suppose to be earthquake resistant *cough*
*cough* then the tv crew caught people removing paper work from the construction site, called the police, and found out they were Chinese nationals *cough*

Remember how bad you felt when that cup of coffee rolled off the roof of your car when you start driving? Yeah this is probably 100 times worst.
