[challenge entry] Probably already been done.

Its a first attempt. Sorry. It's probably also too big. Again, sorry.

From the The Victorian Internet challenge. See all 320 entries (closed)

# Bohemia
from which my mom's side of the family came, right about the time of the Hapsburgs and their lip. At the time, there was such an influx of them to my country that they were called "bohunks" and treated as nastily as the Irish. Water under the bridge.

and then went into pedant mode.

That pic on the right's the Hindenburg, innit?

And as I recall, that didn't happen until 1937. Not very Victorian at all...

Heh, have you noticed how - if you look at the flames - you can almost see a man standing in them?

A really big man - true, but a man nonetheless.
