Grazza Posted March 17, 2021 (edited) I have this problem when I am asked how many chopsticks I need. I ask for four and they give me eight. Oh right, image thread... OK: Northwest corner of Texas Tristate point of Oklahoma, Texas and New Mexico If you look closely at a map, you will see that these are two separate points about two miles apart. Edit: the "Texhomex" marker is about 2 meters north, but if you go there and want to see it, you may need to search through the undergrowth and bring a trowel.

It's Wilhelm Strasse from RTCW, he returned in Wolfenstein 2009, The New Order, and The Old Blood. He's also known as Totenkopf, or Deathshead. Essentially he's Heinrich Himmler, Adolf Hitler, Josef Mengele, and Joseph Goebbels all rolled into one. Yeah the poorly done pixel art looks like ass. But that's who it is, if anyone is wondering.
