Bachelor of Engineering

Interviewer: Why is a thicker conductor necessary
to carry a current in A.C.as compared to D.C. ?
Candidate: An AC current goes up and down
(drawing a sinusoid) and requires more space inside the
wire, so the wire has to be thicker.


Interviewer: How will you tell if that wall
outlet carries AC or DC?
Candidate: I will put my finger in. If it is
pushed away, it is AC. If it gets stuck, it was DC.

Interviewer: How will you reverse direction of an
Induction motor?
Candidate: I will remove the four bolts at the
x-ud, turn the motor around, and put back the bolts.

Interviewer: How do y! ou start a synchronous
mo! tor?
Candidate: Vrrrrrrrmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm (in rising pitch)
Interviewer: Stop! Stop!
Candidate: rrrrrrrmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm (in falling pitch)


Interviewer: How do you limit surge current within an integrated
circuit?
Candidate: By using a miniature circuit breaker.

External (to student) : "Why does a capacitor block DC but allow
AC To pass through ?
Student: See, a capacitor is like this ---| |--- ,
OK. DC comes straight, like this ----------,
and the capacitor stops it. But AC,goes UP, DOWN, UP DOWN and
jumps right over the
capacitor!"

Examiner: "What is a step-up transformer?"
Student: "A transformer that is put on top of electric poles."
Examiner (smiling): "And then what is a step-down transformer?"
Student (hesitantly):"Uh - A transformer that is put in the
x-udment or in a pit?"
Examiner (pouncing): "Then what do you call a transformer that i! s
installed on the ground?"
(Student knows he is caught-can't answer)
Examiner (impatiently): "Well?"
Student (triumphantly): "A stepless transformer, sir!"

Well, I am a big fan of Ronaldinho. I think he has the potential to become the best footballer of his era. For me, whatever he does on the field is magic. Here is a little tribute to my most favourite soccer player at this point of time.

N.R.I.

A Patel family in Gujarat was puzzled when the coffin
of their dead mother arrived from the US.

It was sent by one of the daughters.

The dead body was very tightly squeezed inside the
coffin, with no space left in it . When they opened
the lid , they found a letter on top................
which read as follows ::

Dear brothers and sisters,

I am sending our mother's body to you, since it was
her wish that she should be cremated in the compound
of our ancestral home in GUJARAT. Sorry, I could not
come along as all of my paid leave is consumed.

You will find inside the coffin, under Ba's body, 12
cans of cheese, 10 packets of chocolates and 8 packets
of Badam.

Please divide the same among all of you.

On Ba's feet you will find a new pair of Reebok
shoes(size 10) for Mohan.

There are also 2 pairs of shoes for Kala's and
Lakshmi's sons. Hope the sizes are correct. Ba is
wearing 6 American T-Shirts.The large size is for
Mohan.

Just distribute them among yourselves.

The 2 new Jeans that Ba's is wearing are for the boys.
The Swiss watch that Reema wanted is on Ba's left
wrist.

Shanta Aunty, Ba is wearing the necklace, earrings and
ring that you asked for.

Please take them off her.

The 6 white cotton socks that Ba is wearing must be
divided among my teenager nephews.

Please distribute all these uniformly and if anything
more is required let me know as Bapa is also not
feeling too well nowadays...

Love Story???

Read the story below.


A true, touching love story that happened once.

The headman of a big tribe had an extremely
beautiful

daughter, who fell in love with a guy who was just
another ordinary poor

fellow. When the people of the tribe came to know about
their love, they

did not like it at all, and so began to protest about
it. Now it

happened that the two lovers left their homes for a
happy future. The people

of the tribe started searching for the two lovers but
they could not

find them. At last, they accepted their love and asked
them in a

newspaper to come back. The people said that if u both
comes back we

will marry u, we accept that u loved each other truly.
So in this way

their love won and the age old attitude of the tribe
took a beating.

! The couple went to the city for shopping for the
wedding. He was wearing

a white traditional dress, and was crossing the road
when a car

came and hit him and he died on the spot. The girl
lost her

senses. After a long time she recovered and accepted
that her love has died.
One night she was sleeping in her home with
her family. Her

mother had dream in which she saw a fairy. That fairy
asked her mother to

wash the blood spots of the guy from her daughter's
clothes as soon

as possible. But her mother ignored the dream. Next
night the

father saw the same dream, he also ignored it. Then
when the girl had the

same dream the next night, she woke up and told her
mother about

the dream. Her mother asked her to wash the clothes on
which there were

blood spots. She washed the spots but some remained.
Next night she

again had the same dream she again washed the spots
but some still

remained. Next night she again had the same dream and
this time that

fairy gave her last warning to wash the blood spots,
else something

terrible will happen. This time the g! irl tried her
best to wash the spots,

the clothes tore, but some spots still remained. In
the evening on

same day when she was alone, someone knocked the door,
when she

opened the door she saw the fairy at the door. She got
very scared and

fainted. The fairy woke her up...,and gave her an
object, That girl asked "what is this..?"
to which the fairy replied ".....

Bangalored!!!!

"Bangalored" is a verb which recently got added in the dictionary. A person is said to be bangalored if he lost his job because the work got outsourced to bangalore or any other city in India.

"He got bangalored last week" is an example of its usage.

Lot of people in US got bangalored that it became an issue during the US presidential election. Thats exactly when this word was coined.

One such similar verb is "shanghaied" which means kidnapped.

Laws of IT industry

Law 1 : The good looking babes always join the other projects.


Law 2 a : Your project is always an ALL - MALE team.


Law 2 b : The female joining your project is always very bad looking ( COROLLARY).


Law 3 : Do not think that you are the most frustrated person in the
project; there is always some one more frustrated than you.


Law 4 : A Good looking girl joins that project which already has the
maximum number of good looking girls.


Law 5 : Do not make the mistake of calling any girl in your project bad
looking; because if and when the new girls joins, you start repenting
your previous statement, start calling the previous one good looking,
your tension increases and you lose your sleep and hair.


Law 6 : Bad looking girls do not come singly; they come in pairs.

Who's the convict and who's the victim?

At the 1994 annual awards dinner given for Forensic


Science, AAFS President Dr Don Harper Mills astounded

his audience with the legal complications of a bizarre


death.


Here is the Case:


On March 23, 1994 the medical examiner viewed the body


of Ronald Opus and concluded that he died from a


shotgun wound to the head. Mr. Opus had jumped from


the top of a ten-story building intending to commit


suicide. He left a note to the effect indicating his


despondency. As he fell past the ninth floor his life


was interrupted by a shotgun blast passing through a


window, which killed him instantly.


Neither the shooter nor the deceased was aware that a


safety net had been installed just below the eighth


floor level to protect some building workers and that


Ronald Opus would not have been able to complete his


suicide the way he had planned.


"Ordinarily," Dr Mi! lls continued, "A person, who sets


out to commit suicide and ultimately succeeds, even


though the mechanism might not be what he intended, is


still defined as committing suicide." That Mr. Opus


was shot on the way to certain death, but probably


would not have been successful because of the safety


net, caused the medical examiner to feel that he had a


homicide on his hands.


In the room on the ninth floor, where the shotgun


blast emanated, was occupied by an elderly man and his


wife. They were arguing vigorously and he was


threatening her with a shotgun. The man was so upset


that when he pulled the trigger he completely missed


his wife and the pellets went through the window


striking Mr. Opus. When one intends to kill subject


"A" but kills subject "B" in the attempt, one is


guilty of the murder of subject "B".


When confronted with the murder charge the old man and


his wife were both adamant and both said that they


thought the shotgun was unloaded. The old man said it


was a long-standing habit to threaten his wife with


the unloaded shotgun. He had no intention to murder


her.


Therefore the killing of Mr. Opus appeared to be an


accident; that is, if the gun had been accidentally


loaded. The continuing investigation turned up a


witness who saw the old couple's son loading the


shotgun about six weeks prior to the fatal accident.


It transpired that the old lady had cut off her son's


financial support and the son, knowing the propensity


of his father to use the shotgun threateningly, loaded


the gun with the expectation that his father would


shoot his mother.Since the loader of the gun was


aware of this, he was guilty of the murder even though


he didn't actually pull the trigger. The case now


becomes one of murder on the part of the son for the


death of Ronald Opus.


Now comes the exquisite twist. Further investigation


revealed hat the son was, in fact, Ronald Opus. He had


become increasingly despondent over the failure of his


attempt to engineer his mother's murder. This led him


to jump off the ten-story building on March 23rd, only


to be killed by a shotgun blast passing through the


ninth story window. The son had actually Murdered


himself, so the medical examiner closed the case as a


suicide.

Some tips and facts

Who's in charge?

BODY MEETING:

All the organs of the body were having a meeting, trying to decide who was the one in charge.

"I should be in charge," said the brain, "because I run

all the body's systems, so without me nothing would happen".

"I should be in charge," said the blood , "because I circulate oxygen all over so without me you'd all waste away."

"I should be in charge," said the stomach," because I process food and give all of you energy."

"I should be in charge," said the legs , "because I carry the body wherever it needs to go."

"I should be in charge," said the eyes, "because I allow the body to see where it goes."

"I should be in charge," said the rectum , "Because I'm responsible for waste removal."

All the other body parts laughed at the rectum and insulted him, so in a huff, he shut down tight.

Within a few days, the brain had a terrible headache, the stomach was bloated, the legs got wobbly, the eyes got watery, and the blood was toxic. They all decided that the rectum should be the boss.

The Moral of the story?

The ass hole is usually in charge !!

Bank Robbery

check out how much research is required to rob a bank...

u'll need experts in Math and engineers...

Banco Central burglary at Fortaleza

The Banco Central burglary at Fortaleza was a bank robbery of the Banco Central in Fortaleza, a city in northeastern Brazil. It was the country's, and one of the world's, largest known burglaries.

On the weekend of August 6 and August 7, 2005 an unknown gang of robbers tunneled into the Banco Central in Fortaleza and removed five containers of 50-real notes, with an estimated value of 156 million reais (US$68 million, £36 million). The robbers managed to evade or disable the bank's internal alarms and sensors; the robbery remained undiscovered until the bank opened for business on the morning of Monday, August 8.

Fortaleza is the fifth largest city in Brazil, and capital of the Brazilian state Ceará. The Banco Central is a national banking institution charged with control of the money supply, and the cash in its vaults was due to be examined for its suitability for recirculation or destruction.

Three months earlier, the gang of robbers had rented an empty property in the centre of the city and then tunneled 78 m (255 ft) beneath two city blocks to a position beneath the bank. The robbers disguised their activities with signs for a company making artificial turf. Neighbors, who estimated that the gang consisted of between six and ten men, described how they had seen van-loads of soil being removed daily, but understood this to be a normal activity of the business. The tunnel, being roughly (70 cm)² and running 4 meters beneath the surface, was well-constructed: it was lined with wood and plastic and had its own lighting system.

On the final weekend, the gang broke through 1.10 meters of steel-reinforced concrete to enter the bank vault. The bank notes weighed approximately 3.5 tonnes and would have required a considerable amount of time and effort to remove.

"They worked for several months", police said, "The gardening company was working since March. They had sophisticated equipment, including (global positioning systems) and experts in math, engineering and excavation."

So far the only trace police have of the gang is a pick-up truck branded with a "Synthetic Lawns" logo which was found at the house.

Project Management cum People Management....

Scientists at the Rocket launching station in Thumba, were in the habit of working for nearly 12 to 18 hours a day. There were about Seventy such scientists working on a project. All the scientists were really frustrated due to the pressure of work and the demands of their boss but everyone was loyal to him and did not think of quitting the job.

One day, one scientist came to his boss and told him - Sir, I have promised to my children that I will take them to the exhibition going on in our township. So I want to leave the office at 5 30 pm.

His boss replied - O K, , You are permitted to leave the office early today.

The Scientist started working. He continued his work after lunch. As usual he got involved to such an extent that he looked at his watch when he felt he was close to completion.The time was 8.30 p.m

Suddenly he remembered of the promise he had given to his children. He looked for his boss,,He was not there. Having told him in the morning itself, he closed everything and left for home.

Deep within himself, he was feeling guilty for having disappointed his children.

He reached home. Children were not there.His wife alone was sitting in the hall and reading magazines. The situation was explosive, any talk would boomerang on him.

His wife asked him - Would you like to have coffee or shall I straight away serve dinner if you are hungry.

The man replied - If you would like to have coffee, i too will have but what about Children???

Wife replied- You don't know - Your manager came at 5 15 p.m and has taken the children to the exhibition.

What had really happened was

The boss who granted him permission was observing him working seriously at 5.00 p.m. He thought to himself, this person will not leave the work, but if he has promised his children they should enjoy the visit to exhibition. So he took the lead in taking them to exhibition

The boss does not have to do it everytime. But once it is done, loyalty is established.

That is why all the scientists at Thumba continued to work under their boss eventhough the stress was tremendous.

By the way , can you hazard a guess as to who the boss was????????

He was A P J Abdul Kalam.

Why most Indians are mama's boys...

A Mom comes to visit her son Kumar for
dinner.....who lives with a girl
roommate Sunita.

During the course of the meal, his mother couldn't help but notice how
pretty Kumar's, roommate was.
She had long been suspicious of a relationship between the two, and
this had only made her more curious. Over the course of the evening,
while watching the two interact, she started to wonder if there was
more between Kumar and his roommate. Reading hismom's thoughts, Kumar volunteered,"I know what you must be thinking,but I assure you, Sunita and I are just roommates."

About a week later, Sunita came to Kumar saying, "Ever since your
mother came to dinner, I've been unable to find the silver chutney jar.
You don't suppose she took it, do you?" Kumar said ,"Well, I doubt it,
but I'll email her, just to be sure."


So he sat down and wrote :
Dear Mother:
I'm not saying that you 'did' take the chutney jar from my house, I'm
not saying that you 'did not' take the chutney jar.
But the fact remains that it has been missing ever since you were here
for dinner.

Love, Kumar


Several days later, Kumar received an email from his Mother which read
Dear Son:
I'm not saying that you 'do' sleep with Sunita, and I'm not saying that
you do not' sleep with Sunita. But the fact remains that if she was
sleeping in her OWN bed, she would have found the chutney jar by now
under the pillow...

Love,
Mom.

Lesson of the day: Don't Lie to Your Mother...........especially if she
is Indian !

Misinterpretation

A man wants to celebrate his wife's Birthday by throwing a party. So he goes
to order a birthday cake. The salesman asks him what message he wants to put
on the cake.
Well he thinks for a while and says: let's put, "you are not getting older
you are getting better". The salesman asks "how do you want me to put it?"
The man says, Well put "You are not getting older", at the top and "You are
getting better" at the bottom. The real fun didn't start until the cake was
opened the entire party watched the message decorated on the cake:
"You are not getting older at the top, You are getting better at the
bottom".

Johnny Be Good...

Teacher: "Children, tomorrow I would like you to give
me an example of a development that is currently being
built near your home and what are the advantages of
this new development."

At the end of the class, the teacher asks that all the
little girls remain behind for 5 minutes.

Teacher: "Young ladies, I have received numerous
complaints from your parents concerning Little
Johnny's' crude remarks. It is very likely that for
tomorrow he is going to say something dirty and that
is why I am asking you all, to avoid any further
problems, when he says anything that appears rude, to
get up and leave the class room"
Everybody agreed to this plan.
Next day, teacher: "Is everybody ready with their
assignment? Go ahead Anna" Anna: "Near my home, a
supermarket is being built. Now my mommy doesn't have
to walk so far to get bread and milk." Teacher: "Very
good Anita!
Yes Koosie!" Koosie: "Near my home, they are building
a furniture factory
My daddy is a carpenter and this permits him to work
near home"

Teacher: "Excellent, thank you Koosie!"

At this point, little Johnny's hand shoots up and the
teacher asks: "Oh heavens, tell me Johnny what new
development is being built near your home."
Little Johnny: "Near my home, they are building a
brothel"

As all the young ladies get up and proceed to leave,
Little Johnny says,
"Hey relax you little whores, it hasnt opened yet !!!

Remembering college days..

This can be your workplace...

Marketing Strategies

Professor at IIM was explaining marketing concepts:


1. You see a gorgeous girl at a party.

You go up to her and say, "I am very rich. Marry me!"



That's Direct Marketing.



2. You're at a party with a bunch of friends and see a gorgeous girl.
One
of
your friends goes up to her and pointing at you says, "He's very rich.
Marry
him."



That's Advertising.



3. You see a gorgeous girl at a party.

You go up to her and get her telephone number. The next day you call
and
say
"Hi, I'm very rich. Marry me."



That's Telemarketing.



4. You're at a party and see a gorgeous girl. You get up and straighten
your
tie, You walk up to her and pour her a drink. You open the door for
her,
pick
up her bag after she drops it, offer her a ride, and then say, "By the
way,
I'm
very rich. Will you marry me?"



That's Public Relations.



5. You're at a party and see a gorgeous girl. She walks up to you and
says,

"You are very rich…"



That's Brand Recognition.



6. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say, "I'm
rich.

Marry me" She gives you a nice hard slap on your face.



That's Customer Feedback!!!!!



7. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say, "I am
very

rich. Marry me!" And she introduces you to her husband



That's demand and supply gap.



8. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and before you
say,

�I am very rich. Marry me!" she turns her face towards you
------------
she
is your girlfriend!


That's competition eating into your market share.

Why is India the cradle of modern civilization...

After digging to a depth of 100 metres last year, Russian scientists
found traces of copper wire dating back 1000 years, and came to the
conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone network one
thousand years ago.

So, not to be outdone, in the weeks that followed, American scientists
dug 200 metres and headlines in the US papers read: "US scientists
have found traces of 2000 year old optical fibres, and have concluded
that their ancestors already had advanced high-tech digital telephone
1000 years earlier than the Russians."

One week later, the Indian newspapers reported the following: "After
digging as deep as 500 metres, Indian scientists have found absolutely
nothing. They have concluded that 5000 years ago, their ancestors
were already using wireless technology .

Age No Barrier - Youngest Indian CEO

At a seminar on 'Education System in India' at Indian Institute of
Science,
Bangalore, last year, a boy dressed in casuals stepped out of his car
and
entered the gate. He is stopped by the security personnel: "This event
is
only for CEOs, you are a college boy.''The boy smiled, picked up his
cellphone and soon a whole swarm of organisers arrived at the entrance
to
usher him in.
But then we really can't blame the security. Even the wisest of men
probably wont guess that the 17-year-old Suhas Gopinath can be the CEO
and
President of a Bangalore-based IT solutions company, Globals Inc. Suhas
had
actually been invited as one of the speakers at the seminar...
"Because of my age and looks, I often land in embarrassing situations
and
do not know how to handle the confusion,''says a candid Suhas, who is
currently juggling is corporate life with a BE in Information Science
at
the M.S. Ramaiah Institute of I n fo r m a t i o n Technology. He owns
a
car, bought out of his earnings, but doesn't have a license to drive it
around the city as he is too young to get a license! As a CEO, he wraps
up
mega deals, but cannot sign on the dotted line as legally he is not yet
an
adult.
His is a story of a pastime turning into obsession. As a student at Air
Force School in Mathikere, he frequented a cyber cafe near his home. "I
was
overwhelmed by the world of Internet. It became a passion. Though my
parents were completely against it, I would spend hours before the
computer. My elder brother Shreyas encouraged a lot. I learnt HTML, ASP
and
every possible software at the cyber cafe,'' recalls Gopinath.
On May 14, 2000, along with friends Clifford Leslie and Vinay M.N, he
floated his own website-www.coolhindustani.com . "I did not have the
money
to start. My parents refused to give my a penny, saying it was not
worth
it. So I wrote to Network Solutions Inc in the US and they readily
agreed,'' he says.
Suhas, really had 'IT' in him. In August, the same year, he set up
Globals
Inc, a web solutions and n e t wor k i n g company, with a team of
four.
Now, he has 350 employers, offices in 11 countries, and a turnover of
$1
million this year.
"Initially we offered the services for free. As most of us were
studying
and were very young to actually run the company, many clients were not
keen
on us. But after seeing the work we delivered, they were impressed. Lot
of
them in fact still are very encouraging,''he smiles.
At the Bangalore office, there are more than 15 full-time software
engineers today. How does he deal with employees elder to him by many
years? "Most of the people who work with me are between the age group
of
17-19 yrs. I treat them as friends first, than act like a boss. So the
job
becomes much more easier,'' adds Gopinath.
But it's a stressful life, he admits."As I got more interested in the
company, my studies went for a toss. In my Class X exams I scored 80
per
cent, but in I PUC could barely get 65 per cent. Even here I try and
not
bunk too many classes, but clients cannot be given lame excuses. When I
have exams, I tell them I am unwell...'' he is candid.
Success comes with a price and Suhas has understood the importance of
it.
"At times, I repent that I am not a normal boy, enjoying a teenager's
carefree life. Most of the time I am forced to wear blazers and I am
always
nervous-about work or studies,'' he says.
While most others of his age are rolling balls down a bowling alley, he
is
charting the road map for his company. "We are planning to start
management
consultancy in the industry sector as well. There are plans to expand
our
services to non-IT areas by next year,'' explains Suhas.
But ask him what's his message for to-be entrepreneurs and he's
cautious."I
don't think I am mature enough advise others, but if you have it in
you, go
for it. One should also make time to enjoy other things in life. With
work,
you get too busy to even repent,'' he adds.

Hatred and Rotten Potatoes

:A kindergarten teacher has decided to let her class play a game. The
: teacher told each child in the class to bring along a plastic bag
: containing a few potatoes. Each potato will be given a name of a person
: that the child hates, so the number of potatoes that a child will put in
: his/her plastic bag will depend on the number of people he/she hates.
:
:
: So when the day came, every child brought some potatoes with the name of
: the people he/she hated. Some had 2 potatoes; some 3 while
: some up to 5 potatoes.
:
: The teacher then told the children to carry with them the potatoes in
: the plastic bag wherever they go (even to the toilet) for 1 week.
:
: Days after days passed by, and the children started to complain due to
: the unpleasant smell let out by the rotten potatoes. Besides, those
: having 5 potatoes also had to carry heavier bags.
:
:
: After 1 week , the children were relieved because the game had finally
: ended.
:
: The teacher asked: "How did you feel while carrying the potatoes with
: you for 1 week?" The children let out their frustrations and started
: complaining of the trouble that they had to go through having to carry
: the heavy and smelly potatoes wherever they go.
:
: Then the teacher told them the hidden meaning behind the game.
:
: The teacher said: "This is exactly the situation when you carry your
: hatred for somebody inside your heart. The stench of hatred will
: contaminate your heart and you will carry it with you wherever you go.
: If you cannot tolerate the smell of rotten potatoes for just 1 week, can
: you imagine what is it like to have the stench of hatred in your heart
: for your lifetime???"
:
:
: Moral of the story:
: Throw away any hatred for anyone from your heart so that you will not
: carry sins for a life time. Forgiving others is the best attitude to
: take!
:
: Life is to be fortified by many friendships.
: To love & to be loved is the greatest happiness.
:
: Fate determines who comes into our lives.The heart determines who stays

Seven worst habbits of Indians

I read an article in the Times of India website and the result is a new post. The article is about the seven bad habits we indians take for granted as a part of our daily routine. The article is certainly an eye opener. The least we as model Indians could do is, give up some or all of the bad habits listed in this article. If we cannot change ourselves then it is wrong to expect others to change. I know I am sounding boring and cliched but, this is the reality and no one can hide from it.

Enough being boring. I am starting to get tired of this boring stuff myself. Here's the article.

How Appropriate...

How amazing!! - A mother makes her son "INTELLIGENT" in 20 years, but a girl makes him "STUPID" in 2 mins.


Arguing with a girl is like wrestling with a pig in the mud. After some time, u realize that u r getting dirty, but the pig is actually enjoying.


Boys go to college to develop the mind, girls go to college to catch them before this happens.

Amazin!!! - The Liger

I got this mail from a friend today and was absolutely amazed and shocked to see the size of the animal in the pics. It is called the "Liger" and is a cross breed of Lion and Tiger. I still cannot believe this is true. If it is true, I got to brush up my general knowledge, which is getting smaller in quantity all the time I am at work.

This is amazing!!!
:
: The 10ft Liger (from Tiger Family) who's still growing. He looks
: like something from a pre - historic age or a fantastic creation from
: Hollywood. But he is very much living flesh and blood - as he proves
: every time he opens his gigantic mouth to roar. Part lion, part tiger,
: he is not just a big cat but a huge one, standing 10ft tall on his back
: legs. Called a Liger, in reference to his crossbreed parentage, he is
: the largest of all the cat species. On a typical day he will devour
: 20lb of meat, usually beef or chicken, and is capable of eating 100lb
: at a single setting. At just three years old, he is already weighs half
: a ton. When he is fully grown he is expected to reach 12ft, and almost
: 90 Tonns.
