[78-L] Juvenile behavior (mine)

Somebody mentioning "burning 78s" reminded me of an experiment I made about 
20 years ago.  A friend and I took a worthless and spoiled (large digs) 
Edison Diamond Disk and tried to break it (yes,  we had too much free time).

We tossed it out of a third story window onto concrete,  kicked it like a 
football (ouch),  etc. etc.  Didn't work

Finally we set it at an angle against the curb and I drove my car ('84 
Eldorado,  damn heavy) over the thing and it finally broke.

I was just curious if anyone else had ever tried such "experiments" with an 
Edison DD and if so,  what happened?
