Nice quirky hook supported by an offline, reliable citation; article probably ready for FA let alone DYK. Good use of images to support the voluminous and well cited text. Article meets length and date criteria. Gareth E Kegg (talk) 18:16, 13 September 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the review and the very kind words Gareth. — Cliftonian (talk) 18:50, 13 September 2014 (UTC)
