A steel axe measuring 18.28 m (60 ft) long and 7 m (23 ft) wide, and weighing 7 tonnes (7.1 tons), was presented to the town of Nackawic, New Brunswick, Canada, on May 11, 1991. The axe was built to commemorate the town's selection as Forestry Capital of Canada for 1991. Calculations suggested that it would take a 140-tonne (308,647-lb) lumberjack to swing the axe... luckily, a crane was at hand to lift the colossal chopper into its concrete base.

This is how fucked up and hick New Brunswick is. Someone was serious enough to construct the world's largest axe just to prove to the world that yes, we are Canadian and dammit to hell, we have better wood better than any other wood in the world. Was the big axe really necessary? Well, maybe it was.
Anyway, yes, this is where i was born, not in Nackawic, NB but about 1 hour and 15 minutes from there. Doesn't really matter where you come from in NB, you still have to admit to people that your dad drove a tractor for a living and loved it.
NB SLANG PT.4 – piss-cuttin'er/piss-cut (verb) - Usually used as a in the gerund form "piss-cuttin'". It implies using excessive speed, usually in an unpredictable or out of control situation; "He was just piss-cuttin' 'er trying to outrun the cops!" meaning he was going really fast in order to get the law off his tail.
