I seriously love those old tanks.  The treads running around the entire outside of the machine making it look as though it could flip on its head and still keep running.  :)

I love the Mark V British tank too.  When it was all said and done, the Mark V was the best designed tank of WWI.  The French tanks were too small and the German's tanks were too slow and bulky.  There are about a dozen or so surviving Mark V's spread out around the world, even one in Georgia, USA.  The one shown below is in a British museum.

Likely an error but also recall the calendar differences/changes between Western n Eastern churches/society and how commies, and revolutionaries in general, often like to change calendars as they 'reset' society toward their utopia...
