IIRC, there are actually anthropological studies about this. People from more mountainous regions, such as Japan, tend to take shorter steps, while people from areas with more flat topography tend to take longer strides.

The first U.S. Gantry railroad crossing. Sadly future incarnates would not be as metal as this.

The last time the photographer of the infamous picture met with him, a stall in the bathroom had graffiti which read "we know who you are, fucker."

Fuck hippies forever.

(note the ARVN soldier on the left with the captured Norinco Type 56)
Edit: (also note the ARVN soldier in tiger stripe carrying a Tokarev pistol. Van Lem had just been caught literally red-handed murdering a ARVN Lt. Col., his wife, his six children, and his 80-year-old mother.)

IIRC the guy who took the photo regretted it for the rest of his life. Saying the image lacks context and was used in such a manner, and that if he could go back he would have never taken it.

Some probable Vietncong forces aiming with an MG34. Prolly given to them by the Soviets as left over ww2 capture stock.

Testing the armor of I think the Jumbo Sherman variant.

In 1993, The IRA bombed Bishopsgate, a district in The City of London (not to be confused with London itself). The bomb was stored in a tipper truck and had an explosive power of 1,200 kg of TNT. A mushroom cloud explosion could be seen rising from the surrounding areas. It severely damaged many of the surrounding buildings, most notably The NatWest Tower, the largest skyscraper in the City of London. It caused over £1 Billion worth of damages and almost bankrupted Lloyd's of London. It was the second most expensive terrorist attack ever, only surpassed by the September 11 Attacks.

The authorities were forewarned of the attack an hour prior, and due to it being a Saturday only one person was killed in the attack; a photographer who ignored the police's warning.

I wish we still had classy, giant world fairs like this instead of the stupid futuristic showroom called "Expo" we have today.

The prosthetic right hand of German mercenary Götz von Berlichingen, the inspiration for Guts from Berserk.

AFAIK, Miura said he was not aware of Götz von Berlichingen when he created Guts... which is kind of weird, when you look at both the name and the prostethic.

Also, it doesn't have a cannon or crossbow.

The B17 is the definition of a bullet sponge. These bastards are so tough, you can blow car-sized holes into the fuselage and it'll still get back to an airfield.

Cartoon about minority religions in the US in the 1800s.

Cartoon about the Eternal Irishmen.

Anti Catholic/Anti Italian political cartoon from the US in the 1800s.

Political cartoon from the first Red Scare in the US. A very similar inverse to the modern political cartoons of today eh?

Pro Chinese political cartoon from I think the early 1900s.

Edit:

@Stephanie Bustcakes Sorry it was a brain fart mixup. Fixed.

Surely that's a pro Chinese political cartoon, no?
