In light of the recent ice problems at the Winter Olympic speed skating rink in Vancouver, CBC saw fit to give out some not-so-well-known information about the Zambonis that are being brought in to fix the ice. Some of these you may not know, but are very important in everyone's daily life:
Zamboni Profile
* Height: 3.91 metres
* Length: 5.03 metres
* Width: 2.13 metres
* Weight: 3,937 kg (with a full load of water, which is what really matters)
* Factor of Awesome: 14.7 Death Stars
Zamboni Fun Facts
* Every time a goal horn blows, a broken-down Zamboni gets its wings.
* Zambonis can outrun Ferraris. They just choose not to.
* The water flooded on the ice by a Zamboni has the ability to repel vampire attacks.
* Zambonis are the leading cause, as well as the leading cure, of global warming.
* Scientists have proven that people who start to drive Zambonis gain the ability to mediate many conflicts and are able to fire bolts of lightning out of their eyes.
* Zambonis only need to travel 22 miles an hour to activate a flux capacitor.
* When five Zambonis are in close proximity to each other, they can combine to create a walking robot called "Zambtron" that, well, still floods ice. But really fast.
* When heading into hostile territory, a Zamboni is Chuck Norris's preferred mode of transportation. Now you know.
I just thought everyone should know.
