I don’t know why, but it always makes me really happy when new discoveries are worthy of textbook-altering. Maybe it’s from my own teachers having to explain virtually all the borders in Africa had changed since our school atlases were published (hey! I went to a small, rural elementary school).

Do they have an oil spill if they hit the sides too hard?

Oh! Or the student could roll a d20 before they started the exercise to see if they will get caught in bad weather or have a malfunction that causes a spill.

Not just the construction, but the workers as well.

Pro-tip: never plot or commit a crime in earshot of a lyrebird, unless you want an inconvenient witness who is liable to blab to anybody.

I remember reading J.B.S. Haldane, “On Being the Right Size”.
https://irl.cs.ucla.edu/papers/right-size.html

“You can drop a mouse down a thousand-yard mine shaft and, on arriving at the bottom, it gets a slight shock and walks away. A rat is killed, a man is broken, a horse splashes.”
— J.B.S. Haldane
