Under Floor Massive Subwoofer

Which, if it doesn't exist, bloody well should.

Shake the shit out of the patrons on the dancefloor, guaranteed.

When the slumlord who owns the heritage-listed building where the club has been built decides it must go, but can't get permission to demolish, just install a few of these under the floor.

At 118in (3 metres) across, these little beauties pack a punch that can shatter the leg bones of skinny, oh-so-bloody-prim little girlies on the floor, if you play the right stuff. The low frequency (0.5-100 Hz) range can set up a standing wave in the structure of a building so it collapses.

Patrons injured or killed in the collapse were warned of the risks and chose to come inside for the experience... too bad.

Let the music fill your soul, and shake everything off the shelves in the process.

(I'd like to thank me Mum, and the halfacarton indoor cricket team, and St Threef for the inspiration for this idea.)

       It had to happen.

       I'm only surprised it wasn't st3f himself who proposed it.

       A good expensive practical joke for a millionaire playboy to play:   

       1) Launch a new swankadelic nightclub in London's West End inviting all the pop/TV celebrities of the day to the opening night.   

       2) Get everyone pissed up on expensive Champagne.   

       3) At the peak of the night when the dancefloor is at its most heaving, switch on the underfloor massive subwoofer and give it a sustained 90Hz through a wah-wah pedal.   

       4) Laugh as the entire population of the dancefloor simultaneously shit themselves.

       [st3f], would you like me to dump this one so you can post it?
UnaBubba, Nov 01 2001
  

       5) Get sued. Stop being millionaire playboy. Start new career in Big Issue sales department (shop floor).   

       Otherwise, I like.

       I made half-a-pie out of it. [obligatory-homer-simpson-comment-removed]   

       [UB]: Nope. I wasn't going to post it. It's implied as a more serious proposition in CoolerKing's Vibro-Club and treated with levity and farce here. Two halfs of the same croissant. The universe is in balance. (If vibrating at 90Hz)
st3f, Nov 01 2001
  

       If you had another, smaller universe counterrotating at twice the speed of the first one, would the one we're in be in better balance than at the moment?

       "Vibro-club" = "Ex-wives Club" ?

       Can't wait for the genius to come along and try to fit one in the boot of his car.
