About the name "Windowmaker"
and the "anti-smote device"
and "Danish car unsafe to drop into volcano"
and "Evade the question time"
and the olde english/ courier bold translation
and penguin steaks
and landing a battle cruiser in Nebraska

Because. In quite a lot of places, the landing of a battlecruiser might, just might, make a change. It would be interesting, well, it would to people like us who can still appreciate a bit of something out of the ordinary. Wouldn't mind betting that if a battlecruiser did land in a lot of places, it would get blown up, nicked for joyriding in, have a parking ticket put on it, or worse yet, get completely ignored, except by people standing about in small, aggreived clumps muttering about it, and how it shouldn't be allowed.

Whereas if it landed in a small English village, everyone would try very hard not to notice it.

We're like that over here.

This is the work of an Italian narco-anarchic collective. Don't bother insulting them, they can't read English anyway.

Oh THAT'S what that is in our field.

I had wondered.

Mind you the chickens love it......they can see nearly all the way to Bredon from the top.

That's chickens for you.
NO sense of drama at all.
Oooh, cluck! they say. An alien battle cruiser. Let's go and stand on it, so's we can get a better view.
Be all the same to them if it was a beached Moby Dick, [Worse yet, a beached Moby Grape.] or the wreck of the Hindenberg. [Or wreck of the Hesperus, come to that.]
PAH! Chickens.
