the silhouette of a Steve Jackson Games "Ogre" cybertank, a 40 meter long computer controlled tank loaded with many many nuclear weapons.

That was definitely a very random thought.

It's just such an iconic image (been in use for almost 30 years...) that I can't help but think of the fiery death headed towards my Command Post.

You must be a really big Ogre fan in order to see that out of an inkblot. Or just have a very vivid imagination. Ever have a psych test? I've never even heard of it Ogre. *shrug* But if you ask me the ink blot looks like an ink blot. :P lol

haha, now I'm kind of scared to take an ink blot test...

Here's some info on the game if you're interested.  The designer notes is a good read.  It's an old hex based board game that was eventually made into a minatures game.  Looks like the board game is out of print for the moment as SJG cashes in on Munchkin stuff...  There was a PC version from the 80s published by origins.  I think it's floating around the net if want to look.

Edit:  I think I need an avatar...
