Kilo-kropter (n.) A piece of very quiet, easily transportable power machinery capable of making patterns in wheat fields without being detected. Kilo-kropters are quite common in the UK from what I gather, but their size makes importing them to the United States problematic. Only a few have survived shipping.

Since the post seems to be heading in a new direction I won’t add any more, but I really couldn’t let that one go undefined.

Great thread though!
