Er, the psychopath who thought up the squirrel catapult should subjected to a scaled-up, person-sized version of the same.

Now THAT I'd find funny...

Sorry, but anyone who thinks that the catapult is funny is pretty fuckin" sick.
I am a conservative meat eating leather wearing dude who even tolerates hunters and fisherman. Doing it for fun is fuckin' sick.
Please provide these idiots name and address - and as an obviously superior being, I will show them the same respect. Oh - masters in Physics and thermodynamics including thermal catastrophy theory (really big fireworks that are really not explosions).

you can get giant trebuchets (medieval catapults which involve tossing the projectile high into the air) that are 'safe' to throw humans...

a man in the uk once thought it great to throw his wife, his pregnant wife, in one, with a safety net which she missed.

who says only americans are insanely cruel?

Agreed, the catapult is cruel.

As a man who's house and garden is plagued with squirrels, and realize they are just about rats with tails, I have often thought about building one of these myself.

I am a tree lover. Squirrels gnawed at trees, leaving them exposed to infestation and the cold winter months.

Indubitably, munky.
