I expect this beast will be brought out maybe once a year in a "show the flag" parade, and to impress/intimidate the students. Most of whom will likely be spectacularly unimpressed.<br /><br />That assumes that they can keep the beast running, of course. That's a lot harder than it sounds. <br /><br />Like one guy at the above link says, beware of free stuff from the goobermint.JeffSnoreply@blogger.com
