    Get a few guys n' knock it down

    Haul it away and then we'll see

    What treasures within that can be found

    Is of great impact to me


    Cuz we stole a golden vendor (it's ours Charlie!)

    Drill to its heart, then we'll pay our way


    Cuz we've got a golden vendor; it's a golden daaaayyyyyy.

    even at a 30% markup, in 10 years you'll have done more than break even.

    This is one vending machine I'd definitely like to shake.

    @Li Zhang: Do you know how heavy gold is? A brick would crush your foot. A machine would crush you, and leave you a splat on the gorund.

    @NerdBurger_GitEmSteveDave:

    Do you know how heavy gold is?


    I'm going to guess 1g, 5g or 10g? You must have sensitive feet.

    @Fractal the Meek: Multiply that weight by the amount that would be held inside this machine, plus the weight of the vending machine itself.

    @Kaiser-Machead: Yeah, any vending machine will crush you. But the likelihood of one of those bars "crushing your foot" is about the same as a can of pop breaking a toe.


    Any way you slice it, the obvious safe answer is baby racoons.

    @Fractal the Meek: Which, as it turns out, are fantastic if served with a good Zinfandel.

    @Fractal the Meek: When working with gold bars, workers must wear special magnesium shoe covers, to protect their feet from gold bricks which may fall on their feet. A normal gold bar is ~27.5 lbs, and almost as dense as lead.
