Ha, well sure, with Google itself not existing for another decade or so, I would have to agree with you there. My suggestion was rather that this 2004 event was actually when you first encountered the "death tractor" round-trip translation, not in the 80s. I won't belabor the point since obviously you would know much better than I would. I just found it amusing to find such an exactly matching thread, still easily accessible. And as you say, "death tractor" is good in any decade.
