1: A insect that eats leaves and Eventually morphs into a Butterfly ot a Moth
2: A company that makes Construction equipment. Known in the early years of it's history for making Crawler tractors, Or bulldozers. That is why Bulldozers are somtimes referred to as "Cats"
Caterpiller started in 1925 after the merger of Holt and Best, Crawer tractor companys that were strong competitors.
In the 1930's, Caterpillar was the first company in the US to use the Diesel engine in tractors, Demonstrating their economy and power compared to Gas engines. Caterpillar also started using Yellow paint in 1931, as this increased visibility of the tractor on roads (Try seeing a Grey Tractor at night!)
The Crawler tractors started out as agriculteral Tractors, Then in the 1940's Cat started adding blades to their tractors, Creating the first manufactured Bulldozers (Bulldozers before were attachments that were usually homemade). They were used everywere, Including in WW2.
Caterpillar Now has a major line of Construction Machinery, and is more often then not, referred to as Cat. Caterpillar is considered the undisputed Bulldozer King.

One of the oldest Companies that makes tractors. The brand has become immortalized by Kids and farmers. John Deere started making tractors in the 1920's when they bought out the Waterloo Tractor Company.
Until the '60's they were known in the US for the "Putt-Putting" of their two-cyilender engines. They finally had to drop the Two-cyilender design for the engines to be more efficent and powerful.
John Deere may be famous for it's agriculteral equipment, but they also have a line of Construction equipment.
Interestingly, John Deere has not merged with anyone else, making it one of the only two to not have been taken over by another company. It walks alongside Caterpillar with this title.

1: A country between Ukraine and Russia.
2: A brand of tractors produced in Belarus.
In the 1930's, during the days of the USSR, a large factory in Minsk, the capital of Belarus, produced tractors (At first copies of the famous Fordson tractor) and exported them under the Brand name Belarus.
Most farmers who do buy a Belarus find them to be quite reliable, while others compare them to the infamous Lada.
Belarus is still around, with a network of dealerships in both the US and Canada.
Pronounced Beller-oose

Bionicle is prehaps one of the first story-based toys made by Lego (For kids with little or no imagination)
Based on Lego's TECHNIC line, it has, IMO Defiled Technic's name of bricks, gears and shafts altogether.
Bionicle uses parts made for the set only, making other sets that one part unorigional. To make things worse, Sets (In numbers of six) have basically the same parts, except for cosmetic parts, such as tools and shields. This make the sets a new expireince only if you buy one.
And DON'T get me started on Bionicle-Based My Own Creations (MOC's) They have the worst storyline-based and construction of ANY lego-creation.
(Though I would have to give them credit. Working with those one-set-use-only parts is impossible)

Bionicle, If it were not for the storyline, would suck. Their grandparents, the Throwbots, are better.
