Total displacement comes out to 1,556,002 cubic inches (25,480 liters) for the fourteen cylinder version.

Wow. Just wow. Can I get a 2 liters piece out of it?

One impressive beast...

Counterpoint: Milton Friedman once visited China and saw workers digging a canal with shovels. When he asked, “why not use bulldozers?” He was told because digging with shovels created more jobs. Friedman replied, “Then why not use spoons, instead of shovels?”

Because Chinese don't use spoons. Duh, they use chopsticks.

I keep telling you guys that UC is like Tyler Junior College, but you don't believe me.

Qn for Milton "Tecs" Friedman:

Uh, how is this a counterpoint to a giant two-stroke diesel engine?

Are you suggesting that the Japanese make a million 2L four-bangers to turn the screw of the container ship?

You are too literal, Herr Rott. That's been your problem for a long, long time.

Pay up. I'll take 10000 splits instead of the commensurate number of J-boams, Prof Friedman.
