For The Office...

Commenter, blogshoot attendee, Appleseed instructor, and friend Ross sends me this little bit of desktop awesome:

(picture from link)

Here's the description:
A medieval weapon used to smash masonry walls or to throw projectiles over them!

Now you can build your very own Medieval battle device out of quality Balsa wood.

Easily assembled with the pre-cut, pre-drilled pieces and glue, the wooden trebuchet becomes a working model with an incredible range of up to 20 feet.

Place an object in the bucket and watch it soar through the air as boulders once were flung over castle walls!
It's a trebuchet you can use to defend your cubicle - how cool is that???

That is all.

Jay,
Do please send my email address to your bud Ross . . . . I too am building a trebuchet (on a larger scale) and have a couple questions.
