No day is complete without a silly video that’s only tangentially related to CG’s modus operandi. Thus, presenting this: a video that shows a man controlling a really big grapple with a Wii controller.

Fifteen tons, to be exact. All controlled by your standard issue Wii controller. Madness? Hardly; reality!

As they say in Brasil, muito interessante.
