The Nahuatl word for armadillo is ayotochin (”turtle-rabbit”).

In Book 11 of the Florentine Codex (Bk. 11, Ch. 3, Par. 4), the Nahuatl side of the Florentine Codex version says this:

¶Aiotvchtli: quauhtlanemj, quauhtla chane: iuhqujn qujtvznequi. Aiotl tvchin. Injc mjtva Aiotochi: vel iuhqujn tvchin itzontecon, nacazvivitztic, nacazpapatlachtic, tentetepontic. Auh injma, injicxi: vel iuhqujn tvchin, tapalcaio: injtapalcaio, iuhqujn aiotl itapalcaio.

Ayotochtli: It lives in the forest; it is a forest dweller. Thus [its name] means “turtle rabbit”. It is called “ayotochin” because [its head] is just like a rabbit’s head: it has pointed, flat ears and a stubby muzzle. And its legs are just like a rabbit[‘s]. It has a shell; its shell is like a turtle’s shell.

Which appears to be an explanation of the etymology of the name ayotochtli/ayotochin. 

The Spanish side of the Florentine Codex says thist:

¶Ay vn anjmalejo enesta tierra que se llama aiotochtli; que qujere dezia; conejo como calabaça. Es todo armado de conchas, es del tamaño de vn conejo. Las conchas conque esta armado parecen pedaços de cascos de calabaças muy duros, y rescios.

There is a creature in this land that is called ayotochtli, which means “gourd-like rabbit”. It is entirely armored with shells; it is the size of a rabbit. The shells with which it is armored resemble pieces of shells of gourds, very hard and strong.

Commemorating 100 years since the end of WWI

Perhaps some day the sun will shine again,
And I shall see that still the skies are blue,
And feel once more I do not live in vain,
Although bereft of You.

Perhaps the golden meadows at my feet
Will make the sunny hours of spring seem gay,
And I shall find the white May-blossoms sweet,
Though You have passed away.

Perhaps the summer woods will shimmer bright,
And crimson roses once again be fair,
And autumn harvest fields a rich delight,
Although You are not there.

Perhaps some day I shall not shrink in pain
To see the passing of the dying year,
And listen to Christmas songs again,
Although You cannot hear.

But though kind Time may many joys renew,
There is one greatest joy I shall not know
Again, because my heart for loss of You
Was broken, long ago.“ -Perhaps, Vera Brittain

Perhaps was written in remembrance of Brittain’s fiance Roland Aubrey Leighton who died in WWI

Marge: “Homer, what have you done?!” Homer: “It’s conceptual art.  'The Grand Canals of Springfield’, just like Venice, without the black plague.  What do you think?” Marge: “I think some people are going to be upset.”

Mayfield said, “You asked what I was thinking. Well, I will tell you. I was thinking that a man like myself, after suffering such a blow as you men have struck on this day, has two distinct paths he might travel in his life. He might walk out into the world with a wounded heart, intent on sharing his mad hatred with every person he passes; or, he might start out anew with an empty heart, and he should take care to fill it up with only proud things from then on, so as to nourish his desolate mind-set and cultivate something positive or new.
