YouTube Tuesday: Catapulted to success

Posted by: Nathan Campbell | Tuesday, 10 November 2009, 22:12 | Category : Consciousness

Do it your­self weaponry looks fun, but short of mak­ing a few glove guns as a child I haven’t really made anything…

These are inspir­ing. If you’ve got other DIY weapons YouTube videos (espe­cially explo­sive ones) post them in the comments…

I found these here — where there are a few more tre­buchet videos.

    You do know that call­ing a tre­buchet a cat­a­pult is a cap­i­tal crime?

    I just wasn’t sure what the verb form of tre­buchet is… is it trebucheted?

    No idea. It’s a mystery.

    You and Tim can go down to the park next year and shoot ducks with his minia­ture version.

    Tim has informed me that the verb form of tre­buchet is fling. But he prob­a­bly made that up.

About St. Eutychus

Eutychus was a young man who fell to his death because the Apostle Paul preached for too long (Acts 20). I've decided to canonise Eutychus and make him the patron saint of my dalliances around the Internet.
