Two scientists create a teleportation ray, and they try it out on a cricket. They put the cricket on one of the two teleportation pads in the room, and they turn the ray on.
The cricket jumps across the room onto the other pad.
"It works! It works!"

Does anyone have any info or links showing how/where these containers were loaded/unloaded? 

Thanks,

So does DB stand for dry bulk or drop bottom?
And aside from grains, what is considered dry bulk?

Here's a Clerihew about Ed. K.

Ed Kapucinski
Every night, he plants a new tree.
But mention his law
and you've pulled your last straw!

Alternate version:
Ed Kapucinski
Every night, he plants a new tree.
He asks excitedly "Did you say Ménage à Trois?"
No, I said "Ed's Law."

As far as I can tell, it's Dry Bulk. Other commodities would include concrete, powdered chemicals, and any similar materials that need to stay dry (the containers are designated "weather proof").
