Lego Trebuchet
An anonymous reader submitted linkage to a
trebuchet made of legos. Using
australian coins for counterweights, it is able to throw a marble 50 feet or
more. I wish they had some photos of it in action, and maybe some
schematics for do it yourselfers, but regardless, looks like a fun
project if you have a pile of legos and a 4-day weekend ;)
got it!
P. 0HMYG0D!!!!
(can you believe it?)
Does being 180 pounds overweight make you think you're funny, Taco?
There's no such thing as "draconian" gun laws. Gun laws are put in place for a very good reason. I have to question anyones belief that guns should be available to the general public.
The only people that see gun laws as draconian are the people who own them.
People who own guns generally have no valid reason for owning one. A small percentage actually use them for sport in firing ranges. Home defense is a very sad reason, what's wrong with just beating an intruder into unconciousness and calling the cops? Of course, if you want to say that an intruder or assailant has a gun, well, if gun laws were in place, they wouldn't have them to begin with.
What happens when gun laws aren't "draconian" enough? Kids kill their school mates and teachers. Seem familiar?
Guns are an easy way to kill people. I think that there is NO reason for ANY country to allow the general populace to own firearms.
Sorry, pet peeve. I hear american talking about gun freedom all the time, and it makes me sick to the stomach.
How ironic that you used the word 'constructive'. That is exactly what Legos are, means of constructing things out of small blocks. Were you beaten as a child, or do you not have any creativeness ?
Taco you goddamn idiot, don't you know that nobody gives a shit about your stupid legos.
Christ, next thing you know you'll be asking us to imagine a beowulf cluster of these.
You idiotic freak. Pathetic!
My anus is made out of legos, and it opens and closes with RCX.
