This is the Faule Metze (also Faule Mette). A supergun made in the Germanies in 1411. Cast out of bronze in Brunswick, Germany by Henning Bussenschutte, it was intended for the defense of the city. It weighs in at 8.75t, with a caliber of between 26 to 36 inches depending on where you measured. It's ammo was rocks that weighed between 710 and 933 lbs. It could throw those stones about 1.5 miles give or take. Each firing took up to 70 lbs of gunpowder. As you can imagine, loading this thing with 15th century technology was a massive pain in the ass. Because of this it was only fired 12 times and not one of those times was in anger. In the 18th century it was realized that the gun was a huge waste of expensive bronze and it was melted down and turned into a number of smaller, lighter field pieces.
The caption reads:
The largest gun in Germany,
known as the Lazy Slut,
was last fired in the year 1650.
Of it's contemporary bombards, it was the third largest of it's class. With the Pumhart von Steyr as the second, and the Tsar Cannon which holds the record for largest caliber cannon.

You're right. Thursdays are for recovery so Fridays can be legendary. Especially after drinking on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.

it really likes the irritating fantasy habit of making up dumb names for things, but what're ya gonna do :l
The RIAA would probably slap him with a "public performance" suit the second he let anyone watch a movie in it though. Unless he was paying commercial licensing fees, in which case he'd need to win 3 or 4 powerballs...
Powerball was like half a billion dollars. Think the powerball winners could afford it.
Should thank John McTiernan too, he's the one who dropped Rickman in that scene, on a "2" count when Rickman was expecting a "3". That reaction wasn't acting, that was "oh shit I'm going to die."
