I knew I needed to do something with this tremendous image (found as you can see in Scientific American for 16 August 1913) and thought it might be nice to make something of it rhyming “zeppelin” all the way through…but there aren’t very many single words that do that, though if you cheat a little you can have a lot of two-word constructions with the second word being “in” that would close the gap. Anyway, that’s not all that fruitful or interesting, so I’m just going to note that this composite image depicts Zepps on their way to be zero and zed following their zigs and zags through the sky. It is an attempt–I think–to show that in spite of their tremendous size and threatening nature, the Zeppelins could break just like everything else.
