Year Aniversary of “Killdozer”

• eesmith 6y ago
  "Killdozer!" is a Theodore Sturgeon short story published in November 1944. That's what I thought this link would be about, and was therefore confused for the first paragraph. Instead, this link is about Marvin John Heemeyer who went on a rampage with a modified bulldozer then committed suicide. The bulldozer garnered the nickname "Killdozer" after the aforementioned Sturgeon story. I guess it's increasingly commonplace these days to link to Wikipedia entries via a description of what piqued the submitter's interest, rather than the actual title, which in this case is "Marvin Heemeyer". But it's rather annoying to this mislead reader.
