That Tonka truck... I bit through my tongue once playing with one of those. Didn't keep my sight line high enough. Ran into a tree head first. Everything else in the world was unimportant for a day or two after that.
I would think that chart of subways riders would be good for gaseous emissions... of course mine would cause those to jump out windows and claw the doors open in a futile attempt at survival.
Tonka trucks are a great way to visualize the limitations of scale.
Those things are indestructable.... scale one up to size of a real dump truck, and they'd be no stronger than the real thing... scale it up to the size of Jupiter, and it will collapse under it's own mass to a ball.
