Looks great!

great you stay in yours and I will stay in mine. We will see who survives.

Unless you plan on burying one more then 6 feet deep a couple of i beams across the middle and 1 length wise across each wall would do the job!

you sir are the bonehead since you dont understand physics.
They can be stacked very high. The weight is supported by the sides of the container.
The middle of the roof is not designed for any weight however. So putting earth on top of the center roof will cause a cave in. This is common knowledge as anyone who buries these things knows.
Yes they can be buried but only after properly reinforcing the center of the roof and the sides so they do not cave in.

Are you a bonehead? do you realize these are stacked way high on ships and in yards!

For people in Africa a refeer-container may be a good thing

They really arent structurally sound to put the weight of earth on top of them. You would have to do some serious upgrades to them otherwise as Zachry86 mentioned the walls and ceiling will collapse under the weight. They are very specifically engineered to the stacking they were designed for but not for any weight on the centers.

it'd be cool to make a fallout/bomb shelter using some of these as a starting point

Be careful when filling in around it. I've done it. And one of my walls now comes in the whole lenght.
