    Of course, someone could have been killed as that 30 pound stone travelled some distance into the lake. The likelyhood of that was miniscule and the I think the entire collatteral damage of that creative excercise was someone getting a pinched finger. The incredible value of that creative endeavor, the teamwork, and trust built is something I'd pinch my finger for any day.

I won't ever forget it either. I'll have to dig up the pictures and post them.

I remember our biggest mistake was using old jeans for the sling. :) Luckily they didn't give out on the backswing and send the stone into the neighbor's cottage. If we go for trebuchet 2.0, I'm sure we can get quite a bit further into the lake.

Trebuchet 2.0? It's on like Donkey Kong bro. Don't forget, I've got weeks of semi-sedentary recovery to creatively plot out and expand on our last monstrosity. It could very well turn out that glioma is the least of my future safety concerns.
