Originally the Hummel was a temporary solution made by the Nazis during World War II to make the 15 cm howitzer gun (type of big artillary) mobile. This design proved so successful that it remained into service until the end of the war. The Hummel made its first appearance at the battle of Kursk.
"Hummel" means "bumbelbee" in German.

One of the biggest tanks ever built. Only two prototypes of the superheavy tank were ever produced in 1944 by the crumbling Nazi Regime. They never saw combat however. Their huge weight and their monstruous fuel guzzling would have made it impossible to be of any help to the already doomed Third Reich.
In German "Maus" means "mouse".
Only one Maus tank still survives to this day. It can be seen today in the Museum of Armored Forces in Kubinka (near Moscow) in Russia.

It's your dime

Phrase. Definition dependent on context.
Typically means,
"You're paying for the telephone call, so":

1. "I'll listen to what you say,"
2. "say what you want," or
3. "place the call if you think it's necessary."

The phrase is a relic from a period when telephone calls placed from a coin-operated pay phone cost $.10 (a US dime).
1. "You're calling me on my home phone at night, but, hey, it's your dime, so speak."
2. "Dude -- you should call the radio station and tell the DJ about your spring break story. They won't cut you off -- it's your dime."
3. "If you need to tell your folks about the accident...Well, it's your dime."

A snarf can be a guy or girl. It is someone who places their head in the toliet after a female has gone to the bathroom.
That chick didn't flush, so being the snarf that I am, I ran in there and shoved my head in the toliet.
