Marauders in real-life history exam
« on: November 16, 2012, 02:23:56 AM »
I thought you guys would get a kick out of this article:  http://www.theage.com.au/national/education/history-transformed-in-vce-exam-20121114-29ce7.html

Long story short, a VCE exam for 12th graders used an...interesting...image of the Russian Revolution:  one with a Marauder rampaging in the background of Kochergin's "Storming the Winter palace on 25th October 1917."

It's a pretty awesome pic.   ;D

And it's clearly completely made up.

Every student of the Russian revolution knows that Kerensky drove an Atlas.

I just heard about it yesterday from a teacher friend of mine, and immediately thought of you guys.   ;D  I should'a known other Battletech fans would've been all over it.
