    This concept could easily be put to immensely destructive use. Think about it. Have a million, anti-m$ children march to the m$ headquarters in Seattle and stomp their legs off in a manner that ensures that the frequency of their hops matches the natural frequency of the m$ buildings. That way, resonance would be produced and *voila*, in a few minutes, the m$ campus would be reduced to rubble!

    Anyone have an idea how much was spent by the British govt? Think we shd start the fund-raising soon. :-D
