The anvil. You can beat it with a sledgehammer and it will not crumble.

I have a question for you. Who is more macho, Wile E. Coyote... or the anvil that lands on his head?   |

Gotta go concrete block. The anvil has style and grace, and is actually used in musical compositions.
The concrete block is...well, it's a block of concrete. Boom. That's all. No delusions of anything greater than that.

Gotta agree with Kat...
A concrete block is a no-pretense, no-nonsense piece of work. It will build a house, crush a head, or sink a body... LOL! One of my all-time favorite videos, once run on one of those "amazing videos" shows featured a cement block...
It was a security camera clip from a city during riots... A pair of masked cretins approached a store-front to smash the display window and grab the goodies. One heaved the cement block at the window, NOT KNOWING the savvy store owner had REPLACED it with Lexan since the last riots... The cement block bounced back off the springy window and hit the offender in the face, killing him instantly!
His totally-confused "partner" checked the body, then, absolutely ENRAGED, picked up the same cement block, and with adrenalin-fueled RAGE, threw it at the window with Hurculean strength... Yup, you guessed it: the cement block bounced right back with the same fury, hitting this SECOND miscreant in the face, splattering his head and killing HIM instantly.
The plastic window vibrated for about 10 full seconds from that impact, as the two scumbags lay bleeding-out on the sidewalk. It seemed to be saying" "You want what's in THIS window, jerk? Then bring yo' freakin' money next time."
Cheesh, could we ever use a little "cement block" mentality in Washington today... America is just a big display-window full of goodies to the miscreants of the world... And sadly, she's NOT made of Lexan. Just plate-glass, and getting thinner every day.

Changing the subject slightly, but Leo will like this.
A friend knew a guy who got tired of losing his mailbox to rounds of mailbox baseball. So this guy got some kind of car axel spring, embedded it in concrete (oh, there we go, this does tie in with the thread's subject!), somehow embedded it in the mailbox's post, then sat back and waited.
Football players came along one night soon after and whacked the box. It bounced back and smacked their car door. Except it was actually Daddy's car door. They told Daddy the mailbox had just hit the door, they hadn't done anything. Daddy confronted owner who simply asked, "What were you kid and his buddies doing that made my mailbox bounce and hit the door?"
Daddy left. Football players left that mailbox alone (and probably all its buddies, too).

Now! This kid is macho!  But, more to the point, you do not see this done with anvils.  |

I've seen cinder blocks crumble with cars setting on them before.
