one of the dumbest fucking wastes of time and material ever.

It's kinda fun designing and building it, but after it's over and you sober up, you just kinda ask "Why?"

How many of you have ever dived face first into a pile of manure? If not, do you truly feel that you're qualified to comment on the challenges facing rural America?

I prefer the trebuchet.

I've also made potato guns. Now that is fun, as well as being a great way to lose your eyebrows if you open use too much ether.
