    I am doing night watch duty for a friend of mine at a COMPLETELY deserted industrial park that will be repurposed one of these days. It has an underground tunnel complex that connects every old building in the park to each other. There is an entrance to the tunnels in the decrepit guard shack where my ass is seated. I must ensure that the buildings don't burn down and that no one squats in them. The tunnels are empty. However, the wind howls through them, and the door in the shack creaks incessantly. This was not the best story for me to hear tonight...

      Can you imagine the damage one would sustain if they dove into a silo's worth of assorted change. A roll of quarters can be deadly. Billions in cugurands would mangle you so bad, they would find more of Warren than you. And the dive wasperformed from a board located dozens of meters above the ground so the living would certainly cash out post gainer. Lol. Somehow it didn't seem weird as a kid
