C'mon Duncan, that last one should be treated as an historical artifact....
By that of course, I mean that it should be buried deep in the earth in an obscure location for thousands of years :wink: . Just to be safe I would insist that a bronze plaque stating that it is only a joke in at least ten languages be placed in the hole with it. The demolished onager from Masada is a bit hokey, but at least it's a DeReffyes type. I have a feeling that design may someday again supercede the Schramm or Payne-Gallwey versions.
