AT-AT

Mk I AT-AT Imperial Walker.  From Star Wars.  Seen at the Port of Oakland.

Wikipedia say that "A common myth is the design drew from prominent container cranes at the Port of Oakland, California, a myth both Lucas[4] and visual effects expert Phil Tippett[5] deny. The inspiration for the AT-AT was Paraceratherium, an extinct species of rhino-like creature and the biggest land mammal in history."
But here's photographic proof!  Keep the truth alive!
