Actually I've been thinking more along the lines of a trebuchet for chucking water balloons at my neighbor when he's out on his raft.



Maybe I'll get some Michigan FReepers together and lay siege to Ann Arbor.

Don't get me started on trebuchets.... I want one large enough to fling a piano.

I'm still working on the build/buy decision on the part of the timbers. I could buy a woodlot, rent a portable sawmill... and maybe actually get the trebuchet with a few $$s from the woodlot.

Or I could just go to Lowes and have it next week. And be out the cash and opportunity cost.

I'm torn. It's a certain cognitive humdinger.

lay siege to Ann Arbor.

I just checked on Google Earth. Ann Arbor doesn't have a city wall. So forget the siege towers, and concentrate on arty, foot, and horse.

You might want to review what happened with the Roloff's pumpkin chunkin' trebuchet on "Little People, Big World" from a few seasons ago. Not a pretty sight. Two in the hospital.

Love this “Unpimp The Auto” VW commercial using a trebuchet.

The other two are funny, also.
