Amusing Photo of the Day: Attack of the Giant Ukrainian Transformer!

By Michael J.W. Stickings

Photo from The Globe and Mail: "A car passes by a giant transformer, made of discarded old cars and scrap metal, outside the town of Yuzhny, Ukraine, some 40 km south of the Black Sea port of Odessa."

Forget the Missile Gap. Forget the Mineshaft Gap. How about the Transformer Gap? Were the Soviets developing an invincible army of massive transformers to overrun Europe? Don't we need to know more about this?

Seeing this, it's a wonder the Cold War ended the way it did.
