So trebuchets are the world's coolest things, right? Ours, especially.. [For Narnia!]
but I am so glad we didn't go through with launching a human in ours.. I'm sure our medieval brethern would be terrified to see their sport of human conquest/biological warfare/ultimate torture weapon being used in such a fashion so as to destroy human life, right?
Think about it: what if our medieva counterparts had indeed launched living mortals from their trebuchets? I don't think it would have had the same menacing effect, since humans can't really break down stone castles... and it would have been terrible had it backfired. Instant death both ways, really... yumyum.
