More people died in the First Great War than in any other conflict in history, but this unhappy death stat was not enough for some. Right after the armistice, some divine sicko decided to really rub salt into the carnage and slow down the post-war revival even further. Hey presto, tens of millions of fit young survivors were struck dead with a stupid little flu bug.

Even sicker was the need to name the virus, Spanish Flu, after a country that hadn't played any significant part in the war, whatsoever.

The tower block is real but the masts you see are an architectural attempt at emulating the old docks right in the middle of Bristol, UK.

Some observers would say that putting the middle of Bristol under 10 feet of water would be a great improvement. Maybe in a few decades, with global warming, that will be the reality and the architect can put his mind to designing things that serve a real purpose. 

Is this quirky, or what? 7-foot tall, club swinging, this must have been one scary weed in battle. The Moss man was the last line of defence against the last Arab invasion of Spain - the historic one centuries before March 11th, 2004, that is.
