in my engineering physics class we had to build chairs out of cardboard... so we took ours up to the weight room and started piling on weights...

we ended up with 720 pounds on a 5 pound chair, before the weights teacher made us quit because he didnt want it to fall and have peoples feet get fucked.

the chair wasnt bending at all, even a little.

we have pics on my friend ryans phone, but i dont have a phone to post them

That's pretty filthy.
I made a fettuccine bridge in 8th grade that weighed 215grams, but it held just over 90lbs. Fucker exploded when it finally went.

yo thats sick, in my tech class this year in school we have to make cardboard chairs.  and there is a 350lbs kid in my school that has said he is going to be testing them, and to even get graded on the project it needs to hold this kid.  So man if you would like to help a fellow NSer out maybe you could send me some plans or ideas?

Way back in Highschool we had to make a bridge that spanned 8 inches, and was made out of a single sheet of 8-1/2 X 11 paper, all we could use to shape it was elmers glue, and it had to weigh under a certain amount. Then we stacked weights on them, and the grades were scaled off of whoever held the most weight. I ended up beating the teacher (had never been done in his 25 year career), and If you scaled second place against mine, the kid would have gotten a 35%. So the teacher did not count mine.

this reminded me of some thing i saw where a guy built a platform out of playing cards and then they laid a piece of cardboard on the top and had like 20 little league players and I believe their coaches all stand on top of it without it collapsing.  I was impressed, as i am here.
