In an oversized joke that got out of hand, Gocke and I and quite a number of our friends built a life sized, pedal powered replica of a Panzer Kampfwagen III. Yeah, that's right.
It crashed the party for which it was built - Philadelphia's Kensington Kinetic Sculpture Derby - and then made itself a public art installation. It's now a neighborhood icon. It is rumored that wedding pictures have even been taken on it.
