Just wondering if Willy Wonka's factory was powered by electricity or magic?

Right...I forgot about the little orange guys. The factory runs off of the crushed hopes and dreams or enslaved oompa-loompas.

60,000 Oompa Loompas can't be wrong, right? Is Charlie Bucket the nonprofit? Who is Slugworth?

Why is it that 60, 000 Oompa Loompas are willing to work indoors, 24 hours a day, year round, taking orders from some crazy antisocial dude in a purple suit. Half of the factory is probably a meth lab.....Think about it. Most of the factory is off limits durin the tour and you can tell Ol' Willy is dipping into his private stash.

I hate to do this, but Simon, you left out one:

TESLA *******************WONKA********************************BUCKAROO BANZAI


scientist................chocolatier...............scientist,neurosurgeon,martial artist,musician

dies penniless..........wealthy beyond your wildest dreams.........very wealthy

worked alone...........small army of Oompah Loompahs...........worked with Team Banzai

Gov't stole Secret Work....Gobstopper formula safe..........oscillation overthruster safe

Edison...................Slugworth..............................John Bigbooty

Electricity...............the Power of Candy................kickass music and a safe world

Crossing the 8th dimension through the side of a mountain and saving the world seem to be so much more fun.

Add a flux capcitor and Banzai would have been set.

So, yeah, will it be a Tesla coil, or Everlasting Gobstoppers that the hippies will be digging in the dust for after the temple burn?
