This thing really looks like a unit from a computer game. Or from Star Wars: Empire. Bizarre.

Haha, well, it has featured in a lot of computer games :  A lot of people confuse it for it's cousin, the Hummel mobile artillery vehicle, as they both have the same chassis, but the hummel has (obviously) an artillery piece, and all the stuff necessary to that

Interestingly, the Nashorn was initially called Hornisse (Hornet), which fits nicely with Hummel (Bumblebee)

Watching Tigres at Queretaro. Also, loosely keeping track of NIT scores (esp. SDSU v. IPFW) and the election.

I foolishly thought my Discrete Structures prof wouldn't give a quiz first day back from Spring Break.
Tanked one.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Only 10 points, not crazy. We have a quiz every class day, so I should have figured. I just didn't retain the material after not thinking about it for a week. probably got a 6/10, so my 98% quiz average will come down a bit. Nothing important.
