	The high school I went to had a cafeteria with tables having hollow
tubular legs.  It was possible to reach up underneath the table where the legs
fastened and drop food into the legs.  This was a popular pasttime.

	I would imagine that a vertical cross section of such a table leg
would give a pretty good history of the cafeteria food (sort of like a
geological core sample).
