It’s Official: Chinese Farmers Can Build Anything, Rarely Farm

They ain't no regular farmers -
and you know it.

Which country did he steal those plans from?
hehe, Some Dutch farmer reading this somewhere saying Son of a Bitch!!!

Shada

industrious buggers. soon some farmer will get into orbit using household ingredients, some pvc pipe, and gaffa.

Giz, please stop posting this shit, it's just government propaganda. I can tell.

@aerospaceman: Hahaha. Nice

My Chinese neighbor (who owns a taco truck) made an authentic spacesuit out of Kevlar, Bath and Kitchen Caulking, Scuba Gear, and a Popcorn Machine.

Though no actual tests have been made in "Outer Space", he has tested it in his homemade jacuzzi with a 100% success rate. Knowing the Chinese Taco Truck Owners these days that DIY achievement has to be just a matter of time.

necessity is the mother of all invention? can we say that? like they need stuff so they have more ingenuity? just saying. it's a demising comment and a compliment at the same time! :D

Am I the only one who thought that the Chinese farmers referenced were the same as those who raise WoW gold or something equally ridiculous?

OK, these people are obviously growing marijuana. Everyone knows that pot doesn't lead to other drugs, it leads to carpentry. These are also bongs!

Farmers driving their bongs down the Yellow River Road. Pull the bong over man, I wanna take a hit!

@citizen024: gaffa? You mean modified humans genetically engineered by the Goa'uld in antiquity to serve as soldiers and as incubators for their young.

I think the "chinese farmers" reference is to the guys who build robots and helicopters that were in the news lately (and featured on Giz). I think the robot-building guy is the coolest.

Give these guys some deuterium, an old refrigerator and some vacuum cleaners and we'll have consumer friendly fusion power by the end of the week.

Am I the only one who thinks this guys is walking along in 5 feet of water with an cardboard mock up on his shoulders?

@sprp85: And that ain't no moon, thats a space station!

@chrisfox01: We never landed on the moon. It was a gummit hoax. (j/k. don't ban me, please).

They are just now getting MacGyver over there, thats whats starting all of this.

Patrick Foley

Actually, I think he just took his toilet out of the bathroom, put it on his shoulders and is looking out of it with the lid open.

@OPHICERMANGO: Did he actually pressurize the interior to 16 psi and then look for leaks? 'Cause that's what you'd need to do.

Zanzan42

and this is before they get any subsidies......imagine what they would do if they actually did.

Super cyborg zombie army !!!

@Patrick Foley: Actually 95% of all McGuyver's contraptions were duds. Cool nevertheless.

@GitEmSteveDave_It'sLikeATankTop: I think your thinking of jaffa, oh the geek in me is coming out. whoo hooo.

@GitEmSteveDave_It'sLikeATankTop:
Duct tape.

Lukasz Fabis

Drug Smugglers unite! Not long before Tijuana gets ahold of one of these ;-)

@GitEmSteveDave_It'sLikeATankTop: He's hot boxing his submarine?

e2drummer

And we're worried about the Chinese and Russian Governments...

These Chinese farmers are probably building and stock piling weapons of mass destruction. They'll rule Asia as "The Peoples Republic of Chinese Farmers."

@GitEmSteveDave_It'sLikeATankTop: He means Gaffers tape, or as it's more commonly known, Duct tape (or Duck, whatever).

Wow! I think it's amazing that poor farmers in a Communist country, with little or no personal expertise in those fields can build such things. Yet, in America you'd be hard pressed to find a High School student who could even point to China on a map. Amazing or sad?

@citizen024: ... and then, after some joyous reveling, he realizes that he forgot to take into account re-entry.

@Faslane: Late to the party bro:
