Subject: Really disappointing France. 15 years late on the whale bus...

Looking at the past predicting the future is a funny thing, either in movies of the past or even art work. The images below are from a famous French Series of drawings predicting France in the year 2000 from over 100 years ago. Some of the drawings show "normal" style predictions... but then it gets weird with his underwater sea fantasy visions...  Also really disappointing to see that the Eelympics has not come about yet...

Is 'Eavy Metal Calling?

There's some great stuff there! The airship-warship is just cool in a 'Mortal Engines' kind of way, and I'm pretty sure this is what eventually became Halo's 'Warthog':

Okay, okay. I'll work on it.
+ Isn't Halo's Warthog derived from WWII American jeeps ?

Almost certainly. But I found the 'similarity' between the two amused me.

I'm just saying, I don't think Willy's were design to ram other vehicles, and given that there's no such thing as a Chupacabra what do these tow hooks look like?
Tusks right? Now what kind of animal has tusks, and what does said animal use tusks for?

You gotta ram with that a lot to shave down the tusks, otherwise they grow towards the drive eventually killing him and rendering the vehicle useless with age.
