You know, all of this is secondary to the fact that, in 1916, the New York Times ran a completely serious article saying that these new "tank" things the Brits were producing would be 250 feet long, 25' tall, built to look just like battleships only with wheels and would be able to drive up mountainsides as they spread death to the Huns.
Its nice to see that journalists have always, since time began, been lazy cnuts who will believe anything that 'military sources' tell them without making any effort whatsoever to get off their fat ***** and going and having a look themselves and then writing something that might actually be true.
Nice find.
