Yay for last day, Hillz! Huzzah!
Surely if you built a very small, yet very powerful trebuchet, no one would know where the actual missile had come from.
Well, the throwing power of the trebuchet arm is based on the counterweight at the end of the beam, which has to be proportional to the length, which dictates the distance the pivot-point of the arm needs to be off the ground.
So, to have a really powerful trebuchet, you need a big trebuchet, unless you want to throw little annoying things really far.
And my dog only weighs about 10lbs. Of course that doesn't stop him from picking on the blind pit bull that lives upstairs.
It's a little dog thing. My dog is approx x12 your dog, and it's always the bitty dogs that see the challenge in that.
First time posting here! *waves frantically* Thought I'd go ahead and say hi so I can jump it at a good spot.
Welcome!
I'm wishing I hadn't seen it. That's just creepy. Why would someone want a chair like that?
You know, I had sort of assumed what the creepy chair would look like, because meh, between early 90s music videos and four years in art school, I've seen creepy bad furniture and they all sort of tend to blend on a Creepy Chair Spectrum after awhile.
That, however, is a category unto itself. Yeeg.
Strange day here. Started off the day by randomly encountering a group of Swiss scientists who wanted to know where our robotics lab was and how to pronounce "Worcester". Ended the day by accidentally stumbling upon a HUGE disaster just about to happen at work, and maybe -- maybe -- putting a stop to it. Because yeah, apparently some project manager somewhere thought it would be totally okay to just rip out all the network wiring for one of my buildings to put in a duct instead. Next week I'm supposedly on vacation, but I have the feeling I'm going to be trekking in for several panic-filled meetings full of contractors, project managers, and angry angry faculty.
Also managed to score a big stack of very solid boxes from our stock room. No one will care that they are all emblazoned with giant warning labels that say "FLAMMABLE LIQUID!" all over it, right? Just means the movers will move them faster and a lot more carefully...
Oh and its Friday and I just ate pizza and would really like the sprogs to go to bed so I can take a nap. Please?
