Maybe because I played Settlers (computer game) all week, suddenly I find the thought of having my own catapult quite appealing. You never know who is going to try to enter your comfort zone.
"It's one thing to toss insults, but it's a completely different argument when you're tossing flaming pails of scorching hot oil. The Authentic Working Wood Catapult Kit rests somewhere in between.
Yes, it is a working catapult. However, it's desk-sized. So, technically, you could make a small, flaming pail of hot oil, but it's probably a lot easier to toss marbles, small balls of clay, a Cadbury egg, the engagement ring she didn't accept, etc."
