Back at our lab we tortured the River
Monster to see how much pressure it
can handle. It is said that it can take up
to 30lb (14-30lb) so secured the River
Monster, put on our safety gear, took out
our torture kit, and do what we had to.
We easily managed up to 24lb and there
after it resisted torture. However, we relentlessly got it to touch just over 30lb.
