Warhammer 40k: St. Mork's 'Eelin Center of Death

This week, as I was reading more ork lore, I quickly realized that orks are the most ridiculous faction in the Warhammer 40k universe.  They consistently misspell words, like leaving of the "H" at the start of Hard Case, making it read like heavy cockney accents.  They literally believe that colors have an effect on their weaponry, red to make things faster, and yellow for larger blasts.  I've been told that ork technology doesn't work, but since they're the most powerful psykers in existence, simply believing that it works, makes it work.
I admire the designers who came up with the space orks, as their lore is so different from other races.  I can almost imagine that orks were created to be ridiculous to alleviate the dark and gritty tone of the rest of the game.  If Games Workshop were sectioned off, the Orks department would certainly be the most fun to work in.
Having realized that Orks do almost nothing seriously, I let my mind run really wild with the possibilities.  Our Ork army had a hospital theme, because I thought it would be funny to juxtapose these ultra violent aliens with a healing center.  We also drove our trucks straight into the enemy, and when that truck crashed, we crashed another truck in that truck.
