Default Just a bit weird

I picked up a book (cheap) at a used book store today titled: My Tank is Fight! Deranged Inventions of World War II. The usual culprits are listed, mostly Nazi insanity. But, each invention comes with a "What fight have been" story of its employment.....mostly failures....

The publisher is Something Awful: The Internet Makes You Stupid books.

So, more weirdness is afoot if you want to dive in.....

Saw this book at Barnes & Noble, it was expensive (new), and was in "Humor" section.
It has all the Land Kruizers, Flying wings, saucers..the rest of German vonder veapons in it, und ice/saw-dust carriers.
Real Sci-Fi/Fantasy stuff (with a following).
Disturbing how "propaganda" can sway (most times) logical minds into the realm of the foolhardy.
Not the first nor the last of this "proven" method of herding sheep.


Think men, think... (from "Music man")
