7. That one looks big enough to throw a small car.
I saw a show (it mught have been "Mythbusters" on TLC but Im not sure) where they built a hinged counter-weight trebuchet that was capable of throwing refrigerators and stoves. I gotta admit, it was pretty cool!

18. I think he meant "pult a cat," and I think that means when you punt
a cat backwards. Y'know... pick up a cat, toss it over your head, then kick it backwards with your heel. Pult a cat. Cats love it.

8. Of course, whenever something like that happens...
...you *need* guys with baseball caps to stand around and look at it with their arms crossed.

Baseball Cap Guy #1: "Yep, that's a big rock, alright."

Baseball Cap Guy #2: "Yep."

16. I wish I knew, I'm sure it's a great story----it would have to be!
A friend of mine emailed it to me, he had gotten it from somebody else, etc., etc. --- no idea where it originated.
