The WWE merry-go-round stopped in Moline, Illinois today for RAW. Directly across the street from the Mark of the Quad Cities Arena, is this place:

Moline is home of John Deere’s worldwide headquarters, and an interesting museum of past and current John Deere farm equipment.

I know… farm equipment sounds so… boring. But this museum is cool because they let you climb up into the cockpit of their biggest tractor, the 8030, and a gigantic cotton picker (model 9970).

Looking down from the cockpit of this enormous cotton picking contraption, I wondered what it might be like to work on one, plugging in a DVD or listening to XM radio, slashing through the cotton fields with a $265,000, 250 HP piece of farm equipment at my command.

Then I realized, after about an hour, it’d probably be pretty boring.

As I climbed down from the mammoth machine, I noticed little warning labels – the kind lawyers require almost everything to have these days – affixed to the most dangerous parts of the machine. Look what can happen to you if you are a stick figure and operate the 9970 improperly:

The last one I saw summed it up.
