- @Thriley and JPxG: The nomination only had an image caption so I moved the image here, but the image is not free so we cannot use it. I hope that we might add sections before promotion, because ATM this looks like a stub. It is a fun subject and might be a good quirky hook. Lightburst (talk) 13:58, 10 June 2023 (UTC)
