Forum rules
At the old Disney Hyperion Studio, the screening room where animators would show animated scenes to Walt for his approval was small, with no ventilation or AC. Not only was it hot, but the animators were nervously awaiting Walt's reaction to their work. Thus, the room became known as the Sweatbox. Even after the Studio moved to Burbank and elegant screening rooms were offered to the staff, the moniker remained.
Now SGT has a sweatbox of our own. This is the place to find and post all entertaining topics such as video links, jokes, games, and the like. A general rule of thumb is that if the thread is meant to be informative (interesting news stories for example), or a topic for discussion (like setting up a park meet) then it should go in the Break Room, but if the intent is to entertain the masses then it's home is The Sweatbox. I'm sure there will be grey areas at times, so if you have doubt as to where a new thread should go, just use your best judgement and the SGT Staff will be glad to move it later if you guessed wrong.

Saying "From the Onion" and "may be offensive" is redundant, isn't? :D:Buggy wrote:This was on The Onion's website this week.

Re: From The Onion
To answer the question? Given historical precedent, it takes 108 bags of ammunium nitrate fertilizer, 150 gallons of nitromethane fuel, and 850 pounds of industrial-mix ANFO to completely level one acre of urban structures. And given that combination has an explosive yield of the equivalent of 5,000 pounds of TNT, and given that the surface area of the Magic Kingdom of Walt Disney World is 300 acres, you would need 1,500,000 pounds of TNT to level the area. And since the C4 is 1.34 times as explosive as TNT, it would require 5,597 tons of C4 to level the Magic Kindom. And the whole of the Walt Disney World property is 30,000 acres or so, you would need 56,000 tons of C4 to completely level it, theoretically, not taking into account the generated shock wave and atmospheric effects of such an explosion.
So now know, and knowing is half the battle.
