[edit] Photo

I started asking for a photo on the talk page, then searched around and found one that appears to be free-as-in-freedom to use based on Russian law. I hope the photo isn't a hoax, but can't guarantee it. It's in various places on the Web, which of course means little for its authenticity. Maybe a Russian WWII expert could vouch for the photo.

The same picture is in Steven J. Zaloga & James Grandsen, Soviet Tanks and Combat Vehicles of World War Two, labelled as a designer's model. Zaloga is the source on Soviet armour, so it must be factual.

Ya gotta love a piece of hardware that falls into both Category:World War II Soviet tanks and Category:Soviet military aircraft 1940-1949! —Michael Z. 2005-10-11 20:56 Z

Thanks for the verification. Do you know what "designer's model" means? Is this a snapshot of a 2-foot-long wooden, painted model? Tempshill 15:45, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

Something like that. Looking at it closely, I think either the illustration was heavily retouched and airbrushed, or this is simply a design illustration made by a draftsman. —Michael Z. 2005-10-14 16:54 Z

Bet this baby had quite a steep glideslope. —Michael Z. 2005-10-12 07:01 Z

[edit] Greatest invention of the 20th century

I now officially declare this to be the greatest invention of the 20th century.

yes it is much more usefull than penicillin don't you think? Joeyjojo 03:07, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Common adverse drug reactions associated with use of the penicillins include: diarrhea, nausea, rash, urticaria, and/or superinfection (including candidiasis). Infrequent adverse effects include: fever, vomiting, erythema, dermatitis, angioedema, and/or pseudomembranous colitis. Pain and inflammation at the injection site is also common for parenterally-administered benzathine benzylpenicillin, benzylpenicillin, and to a lesser extent procaine benzylpenicillin

Yes, very useful eh? FYI: Penicillin will supposedly kill me. I don't need fungus injected into me anyway.
