I did something the other day that helped me to realize just how awesome the TDT communities on Facebook and Twitter really are.

I put the Route 66 Blue Whale and Tulsa's Golden Driller in a ring and rang the bell.

Dozens of you weighed in on who would win, who would lose and why.

I decided that the winner of this both literal and figurative landmark smackdown should take on no other than the mammoth praying hands at Oral Roberts University:

Ultimately, the Blue Whale was declared the winner.
