Re: BIG TREB

Actually, it was a statement's to man's desire to hurl things with a minimum of effort. Storming your neighbour's castle is only an invitation to hurl them in a particular direction.

This guy now owns a working trebuchet. I don't, do you?

'Nuff said.

;)

I wanna watch when the cops come around and ask to see his license for that seige weapon.

When trebuchets are outlawed, only outlaws will have trebuchets. ;)

Trebuchets don't kill people, big rocks kill people.

ROFL!!!

I built a small one. Why? Because hurling things with a heavy, well-built machine is a hell of a lot of fun, and because building such a machine and watching the crazy thing actually work is a hell of a lot of fun.

Highly recommended. Just be careful you don't hurl an apple over a 20' high concrete wall and onto a busy highway. Oops. ;) (I was trying to *hit* the wall, not throw over it.)

(Vandalism, arguably, even temporary graffiti, but neither is anything a little rain won't cure.)

(For the starving people in China crowd, it was a half-rotten apple.)
