    I'm not sure why this was modded funny. The town's name is Beebe, pronounced bee-bee.

    I think the summary means Team Fortress Classic. Team Fortress was done as a mod for the Quake 1 engine.

    Broadcast antennas may not "spew toxic waste" but they do emit non-ionizing RF radiation. There are are safety issues working around high wattage RF. There is a good article about this on the ARRL website: http://www.arrl.org/rfsafety/lapin/2000/08/29/1/index.html

    "The amount of energy that impinges on an object depends on the size of the object and how much the energy has spread since leaving the antenna. To take this additional factor into account, a new unit of measurement is introduced, power density, or power per unit of area, measured in watts/m2 or millwatts/cm2 (10 W/m2 = 1 mW/cm2)."

    Believe it or not, there are good safety reasons we can't just go and setup our own broadcast TV towers where ever we want.

    If the animations are placed inside a prim that is worn, which is often the case when using animations overrides, it would not be that hard to copy. Once you have something in your inventory, those hacks that can change the items permissions come into play, which means we could be talking about someone who copied this guy's animations and scripts bit for bit.
