The Dreaded Ale Machine is a war machine, originally built in 1958. It achieved particular fame in the 60s, for going mad and spending thousands of dollars on cheap jewellery, silk scarves, and golf balls. Lately, it's been in the news for getting stuck in a chimney quarter its size, and playing World of Warcraft for five months, only taking a break to viciously slaughter 30 members of the Skull and Bones society and to piss into a cup.
