My Grandpa vs. Manji vs. Tim Allen

[The Yosemite Bear]

Ok, my grandpa is stragely enough one of those men who has to build overbuilt contraptions, purhaps it's some strange Germanic Gene, who knows.

But, yes I grew up with the Three Horsepower Central Air conditioner, the Ford Pinto converted into a four wheel drive woodsplitter/flat bed pickup, The 6 wheel drive ajusting shock riding mower (this thing climbs stairs).

So who could build the biggest utility device, that still works.

muahaha! I voted for Tim Allen, because I don't know your grandpa, and Manji is crazy.

Now that I think about it, your grandpa should win, because among the contestants, he's the only one of them who actually built stuff (or so you would have us believe). So I voted for the wrong candidate. It was the butterfly ballot! It confused me!

I'd say your grandpa, since Manji's concept ships would sink the moment they're placed into water, disqualifying him, and I really haven't seen Tim Allen make something big.

Only thing of Manji's that I know of that is close to buildable would be his 16" gunned submarine. It's a really stupid idea, but it's been done before on a smaller scale.

Manji took an idea for a mile long transport blimp that could pick up an aircraft carrier, and turned it into a massive aerial battleship carrier that would need ten times the lift. He has the others beat.

He wanted broadside fire though. The M12's and the French 8 inch gunned Surcof where limited to end on.

Its more likely the mounting would just be ripped out of the hull, though it might still capsize as it sank from massivly flooding.
