Default DUKW...Duck .... Duh...

Well, I can't quite believe what I was reading, but I'll share it with you anyway:

On a major institution's website, they define DUKW as....

"Detroit United Kaiser Works Amphibious load carrier. Named after US Army's serial numbers DUKW"

(Caps etc as per website entry...)

Besides the 'bleedin' obvious' definition faults, since when are alphabetical letters 'numbers'????

Oh, dear....
