I'm a big military history buff.
I've been carving battleships from carrots for years.
I can bench press 300lbs.
Three of the previous statements are false.
Take note of the beautiful and majestic Battleship USS Massachusetts below.

Wonderful, isn't it? My task for this morning after my second cup of coffee was to precisely recreate every detail of this battleship. In carrots.

Yes that's right. In carrots.

After painstaking minutes of scaling, measuring, carving and recarving, I have finally accomplished my task. I finally feel that all of the minute details are of such a quality that you can even see the individual sailors on the deck if you look closely enough.

Hah hah! They're probably shells made of beta carotene.
Okay probably not. Uhm. Yeah.

So let that be a lesson to any Farkers out there. Next time you submit a headline reading "Battleships made from carrots" there'd better darn well be a battleship made from carrots in the link.
