Aieeeeeee!  So what?  Who cares?  If you are going to be discussing 
WWII, take it off the list!  The Gulf War nonsense was bad enough, but 
come on now!  The relevence of this thread to Dirtside is becoming more 
and more tenuous.  Trust me, the relationship of a Maus to an Ogre is 
distant one at best.  If you can reference a WWII tank that carried 
several meters of BPC, and fired nukes, then maybe we can call this 
on-topic.  Until then, give it a rest.
