“The VCE exam body has apologised and promised no students will be disadvantaged after a doctored image depicting a giant robot assisting socialist revolutionaries in 1917 was accidentally used in a history exam. [...]
(creator of image presently unknown)
The exam, which was sat by almost 6000 students, featured a doctored version of the artwork, in which a large ‘BattleTech Marauder’ robot appeared in the background of the artwork depicting events during the Russian Revolution.
The VCAA said students would ‘not be penalised’ for discussing the gigantic robot.”
Well, I’m flabbergasted. I had always thought there to have been a significant giant robot presence on both sides during the revolution. I have the distinct recollection of seeing, in a museum, the chalcedony remains of a Tsarist Fabergé mecha.
What? The image is obviously badly photoshoped, Tsarist mecha remains a good fake.
Everybody knows dragons played a big role in those events. Those fancy precious eggs dragons.
It seems we got history books from two different time streams, pointing to there having been some sort of temporal-distortion device (or magic) in effect during the events in question. I’m inclined to blame Rasputin, who of course didn’t really die in 1916.
Btw:
