A bit OT but fun nevertheless.
The best bit in any of Harry Turtledove's books is
when the Germans fire a railway gun at one of the
landed alien spaceships. The aliens pick the shell up
on radar and think it is a missile (for what else
could it be?) and start firing anti-missile missiles
at it which have no effect on a piece of steel the
size of a car. THe aliens panic, an indestructable
missile!
