From their Wikipedia article...

The school mascot is Blaster the Burro, the athletic teams are called the Orediggers, and the logo (designed by architect Jacques Benedict) is a Reuleaux triangle.


The rotor of the Wankel engine is easily mistaken for a Reuleaux triangle but its curved sides are somewhat flatter than those of a Reuleaux triangle and so it does not have constant width.[size=84][1][/SIZE]

Wish I had finished out there so I could get that cool plate. Instead I dropped out and got married. But I guess that wasn't such a bad choice after all as we're still married almost 14 years later. :)

Cool info on the Reuleaux triangle.

Haha, I'm glad I'm not the only person who's noticed this! Totally looks like a rotor.
